The theme for The Card Concept this week is butterflies. I masked off an area of the card and stamped my Urban Stamps butterfly image repeatedly to fill the space. I used Spectrum a Noir pens to colour one butterfly in with the colours from the inspiration photo, and to shade the gaps between the other butterflies. I am brand new to alcohol pens and definitely need to keep practising!
Part of the challenge is to create your card in the style of one of the design team. I think this card would class as clean and simple but I often struggle to define my style.

This is STUNNING. What a beautiful composition!!! What a clever idea keeping the butterflies white and colouring in the gaps inbetween- I always do the opposite. This is so refreshing. The red butterfly is amazing set against the other muted colours. Xxx
This is one classy card! Love the colorful butterfly that stands out on top of the others. Outstanding!
FABULOUS card – LOVE it!!!
So beautiful, had to pin it!

I think it’s a winner, Christine! I love a masked off border on a card and this is a wonderful example, a beautiful layout. The spotlight on one of the butterflies really engages the viewer!! Well done!! I hope you have a great day! Hugs, Darnell

Beautiful card! Love the pop of color with just the one butterfly,beautiful design.
Wow! Your card is gorgeous! You obviously are blessed with a natural ‘coloring’ talent because there is NO WAY that this looks like the work of an amateur “color-er” (I know…that’s not really a word!). Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL clean & perfectly balanced layout! Thanks for supporting the Card Concept Challenge – I totally enjoyed seeing your talent & creativity!
I love this card!
This is simply gorgeous, love the colouring of the spaces rather than the butterflies! X
Oh this is stunning! I love the mix of neutral butterflies combined with the beautiful red one! Thanks for joining us at The Card Concept!
