CC553 - Barbara is our hostess and she chose elegant eggplant, calypso coral, old olive and Bermuda bay. Dessert is to use pearls or rhinestones.
HYCCT1502 - Teresa wants us to create a freestyle collage.
I started my collage by sponging the background with Bermuda bay ink and a honeycomb stencil from Memory Box. I used the Stampin'-Up set "kinda eclectic" for my collage elements.
I added some May Arts mesh ribbon and coral floss for a little additional interest. The butterfly is cut with an Elizabeth Crafts die with eggplant dsp and then the shadow is eggplant cardstock.
My sentiment is from the Stampin'-Up set "butterfly basics" and is stamped in elegant eggplant ink.
This card is not my usual style but I like how it turned out. Hope you can play along with us this week. Why not use the colors and complete one of the HYCCT challenges!!

Mary, this may not be your usual style but I think it's fabulous - love all the different elements - and how they all work together so well. I like the leaves off the edge in particular.

I love your collage card Mary!! And this set has to be one of my favorites. You did an awesome job starting with your honeycomb bg. The dies add a nice amount of texture. Great job!!
