This is a bit of a blah card, but I didn't want to miss Michelle's first day as hostess of the WT challenge - to use diecuts. I used mostly ones from the box on my desk, I just cut the butterflies.
I don't know what to add to this - maybe the foliage should be darker, I think the top corner needs something. It's too hot to think, though.
A2 base sponged with Vintage Photo. Paper is Basic Grey Sugar Rush, crumpled, rubbed with Peeled Paint, flattened out, edges distressed and stitched with brown thread, then stamped with Vintage Vogue in Peeled Paint and Bonjour from Carte Postale in Vintage Photo.
Tag is a Sizzix die cut from chipboard, painted with several layers of gesso, stamped with Linen using Pumice Stone, edges sponged with Vintage Photo, Bonjour with Walnut Stain and then randomly with Vintage Vogue and Pumice Stone.
I added a Basic Grey brad and some twine. Flowers are Tattered Florals cut from music and sponged, butterflies are an unknown Spellbinders die, foliage is a punch.

This is not blah at all - it's quite pretty! The BG color is a soft shade of green and the stitching is awesome. The butterflies and flowers are wonderful cut out of printed DP and music DP with little pearls added - makes them just perfect. Very pretty!

I do not think this is blah at all - I would call it subtle, which to me is a great look. I like it a LOT! Adding to my favorites...
(This came up in today's WT gallery - maybe you meant 334?)
