I wanted to do some more challenges and decided to make a Thank You card.  I got the Stampin’ Up! stamp set called For All You Do a couple of months ago.  Whenever I saw other people use this stamp set I just loved the results.  I don’t think I’ve seen anything with this set that I didn’t like.  But now that I have it I haven’t used it much – I’ve been working on all the different holidays for the last few months and haven’t done much with flowers.  So I pulled it out last night to use for the challenge I found.  I found Pals Paper Arts and they had a sketch challenge (PPA24) and I decided to pair that with a color challenge (#105) from the Stamping 411 blog.

Stampin’ Up! supplies:

• For All You Do stamp set
• Tempting Turquoise card stock, ink and marker
• Brilliant Blue card stock and ink
• Green Galore card stock and ink
• Whisper White card stock
• Basic Grey ink
• Vellum paper
• Big Shot
• SU Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
• Color Spritzer Tool
• Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Playground Designer Buttons
• Circle Ice Rhinestone Brads
• Paper Piercer & Mat pack

I used the Rock-n-Roll technique on the butterfly – inked it with Tempting Turquoise ink and then rolled the edges in the Brilliant Blue ink.  I used a small amount of Tombow Multi-purpose adhesive on the body of the butterfly to attach a piece of Vellum paper.  Then I cut the butterfly out – cutting the card stock and vellum at the same time.  The Tombow glue dries clear so it worked well on the butterfly.  I pulled the vellum paper up for the wings.

I did realize after I made my card that the Stamping 411 color challenge was supposed to be a kids card but I missed that and just used the colors.

Thanks for stopping by today.
