You ever have those days were things just fall into place with a challenge, well this is one of those days.
This morning when I saw the CAS challenge was to use plaids, I was happy, as I had this sheet of plaid sitting on my desk that I just made, using alcohol inks. So off to cut the butterflies and make my own scored plaid bg.
Now I'm here to upload, and I see that the TLC is to use dimension. Well if these butterflies aren't dimensional, I don't know what is.
So a big yippee from me, that this card fits both of today's challenges!
I used the MS scoreboard to make my own plaid bg, and Adirondack alcohol inks to make the plaid. I love playing with messy stuff! The butterflies are from SU!'s Sizzix die and Spellbinders dies.

Great fit for the two challenges. You did a beautiful job on that plaid. CaKath helped me understand how to do it. I'm gonna try. Hope it comes out as prettily as yours did.

Oh my goodness, I'm so excited - I love, love, love your card, and can't wait to try this technique. Amazing, and I'm so into CAS these days - it's simplicity is so appealing!

What a gorgeous plaid! I love the colors and the subtlety of it all. And to put it on a scored cardbase: genius! Don't you love it when everything comes together? Who would guess that plaid butterflies could be so attractive? They're lovely.
