SC183 CC173 Essence of Love

Photo Details

Poster: dakotastamper

I wonder if the Essence of Love set will make it into the new Stampin Up catalog? It appears there are some new silhouette floral sets coming out, so we'll see.

For this card, I combined today's nice layout challenge with yesterday's color combination. On Glossy White card stock, I sponged Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi, and Purely Pomegranate inks for the background, then stamped the main image in black StazOn. Cuttlebugged the two other panels, stamped the butterfly in Celery on the card base for an easy card. Used the rectangular Nestabilities to frame the image panel. I couldn't find any round black brads in my supplies so just used the square ones to attach the celery ribbon.

The beautiful colors drew me in immediately, but I really love the butterly background and the different layers. Awesome!
