CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #13

I never make cards this size so THANKS for the challenge to try it!  I was surprised and delighted at how simply it came together for me.  This started with inspiration from the new patterned paper by PTI called Funky Town.  I love plaids and this one seemed especially crisp and summery to me.  I made three die cuts using PTI Butterfly die in the white center panel and three more in the plaid paper.  I backed the white center panel with the plaid paper then mounted it on a layer of PTI Smoky Shadow card stock.  This was adhered with pop-dots to the 3 7/8" X 9 1/4"  Long Notecard from Hero Arts.  The sentiment and trails are both from PTI Happy Trails stamp set.  The sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the trails with PTI Smokey Shadow ink.  The clear rhinestones from Studio 18 are colored with Copics.

I hope you will take the time to offer some constructive feedback.  I love hearing your comments!
Thanks for stopping by!

  8. Hi Suzanne, it's so pretty :)
    I love the little trails behind the butterflies, they help to place them on the design. This size card is not my "go to size" either but you have made a smashing card :)
