Heartfelt Hexagon Sketched Butterflies Sending Love Card. Creative Colour Challenges - #175

 Good Evening Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card I made a couple of week's ago for Creative Colour Challenges. I love this combination of Shy Shamrock, Pecan Pie and Melon Mambo - although I did find it tricky at first to get a concept together.

Sometimes when you have a colour challenge, an idea just comes to you - which is brilliant. Other times it requires a little more brain power to figure out how they are going to work together.

Every time I have a colour challenge, I take out a scrap of card stock in the colours, lay then on my desk and pull out some stamp sets to see what could work - if I have any paper packs with those colours I may bring them out too. 

I really wasn't sure where to go with this combination, although I love all the colours - so I did my usual and pulled out scraps of card, then saw the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set (which is on the last chance list - so an ideal opportunity to get it inked up a little more). I thought i could put a sample of each colour onto my card using the outline from Heartfelt Hexagons, but there's not many images to fit the punch out vertically, but this cute butterfly from Sketched Butterflies worked perfect!

And there you go, I really nice Clean & Simple Card, using scraps! And a little detail on how my process works!

what do you think of the finished card?

Measurements

-----------------------------------------------------

Take the Thick Basic White card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base.

Ink up the outline border stamp from Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and stamp three times, once on each of the coloured card scraps. Add a butterfly from Sketched Butterflies to the centre of each and then cut them all out.

Arrange then on the card front, leaving enough space in the bottom right hand corner to add the sentiment from Heartfelt Hexagons in Memento ink.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - I love a super quick card and this certainly is that! It looks great in this combination - but I can only imagine the many possibilities that would work.
