AAA Cards #69-Stash Favourite

Hi All,

We have a fab new challenge at AAA Cards for you today. We are asking you to make 'Clean and Simple' cards using your stash favourite.

Here is my card:


I use butterflies quite a lot on my card so do have a few left overs in my stash and here I have used 3. I layered them up. The top one is actually wooden and has been in my stash for a long time now. I embossed the base card to give some texture and then added some clear stickers for the sentiment and the black whirl line. I am amazed how much I like this card. Stickers and wooden elements are not things I would normally use on a card plus I can't remember the last time I used this embossing plate. So I am pleased this challenge.....challenged me to step out of my comfort zone but still make me create a 'CAS' card.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the very talented Ksenija. I have been following Ksenija for a long time now and am always amazed by her creativity. Take a look at her blog, Sweet Kobylkin, and you will see what I mean!

    I thought it was patterned paper so I had to zoom on in. The embossing gives the card so much movement. I love how it makes it feel like the butterflies are zooming around the card.

    Lovely card from the colour and embossing right down to the butterfly. Love that idea of the wooden one on top of the plain one!

    Loving all that movement from the embossed swirls and curly line. Plus there's butterflies and purple - just heavenly.

    Feminine and delicate, with the perfect spot picked for the butterfly. Can't remember having seen this embossed pattern, it's lovely, one you should use more since you have this treasure in your stash:)

    I love your layered butterfly and the EF creates such a beautiful background for fluttering. Shades of purple are my favorite. It's so fun to combine things from your stash to create something you love. Beautiful job with this challenge.
