Card: Workin' with Stampin' Blends

Hello and Welcome! 

I am very excited to share today's card because I was finally able to play with a pair of Stampin' Blends...and I am hooked! Of course I am! If you've used them before, then you probably know that they are extremely fun and easy to work with and you get a wonderful "blend" of colors that can really add a little something extra to your card.  Plus, I found it extremely therapeutic to sit in my craft area and color this beautiful butterfly paper.  Some quiet crafting time sure does set the mind at ease.  

And here is today's card...

I wanted to keep the focus of today's card on the paper because who doesn't love those butterflies!?  I have been holding on to this particular page because I couldn't decide whether to color the butterflies or just showcase them on a black and white card.  Then the Stampin' Blends arrived and I had my answer! 

This is the second card that I have made that features the fun cut-out design on the front of the card.  You can see the previous card at my post here.  The previous card also features the "Work of Art" stamp set with a black and white card base.  

Today I got into my scrap pile as well and I love when I get to bring old pieces back to life.  The vellum leaves and pink twine are left over from the August 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit.  I don't know how many times my "box o' scraps" has come to the rescue!
