Paper Players & Muse Challenges

I got an email with the Paper Players Challenge; CAS Valentine.  For once, I had an idea pop in my head!

I used both the positive and negative cut from the Memory Box butterfly.  I ink sprayed a separate piece of cards stock for the backing.  My sentiment is from Inspired By Stamping Flower of the Month; Asters.

I went on to play in the Muse Challenge #148.  Gosh, it has been forever since I joined in this challenge.

Such a basic card, but I love the end result!!

Here is Anita's card;

 

Off to Sam's Club for my weekly food :) -- See you tomorrow~


Thanks for stopping by~

Love both of these. Using the negative and the die cut itself is genius. Great idea!!!

Love your boldly coloured butterfly in all that white and the way you've added definition to your die cut with the darker layer underneath! So glad you joined us at Muse this week, Vicki!
