Beautiful butterflies - monochromatic red



Here's the card I made today. It's for a bunch of challenges that work together really well. I haven't played along with any challenges recently and I was so pleased to find all these that really sparked an idea in my head.

Today's Ways to Use it challenge on Splitcoast - butterflies!
Pals Paper Arts - inspiration photo
Just Add Ink - monochromatic
SUOnly Challenges - add bling!



I even decorated the inside - which you can see a little bit.

First I started out with a butterfly die cut - negative space. I stamped the rose from 5th Ave Floral in the "masked" area. I also sponged with two shades of red.
Then I added a bunch of beautiful wings embosslit butterflies (in different shades of red - real red, riding hood red, cherry cobbler - in keeping with the monochromatic theme!) I LOVE monochromatic!

I stamped the sentiment from Hodgepodge Happiness (which matched so well!) and added ribbon and rhinestones! Voila! I'm so pleased with this one!

    This is gorgeous, Trish. What you did with the Fifth Avenue Floral rose, and the butterfly negative, is truly inspired! Might just have to CASE this idea :)

    I really like your butterfly using the negative part of a die and also adding the flower stamp image to adding a lovely pattern to the sponged butterfly.
