I must admit that I thought this challenge was going to be easy but it wasn’t.  Everything goes with black, right?  I was having a hard time trying to figure out how the colors will blend as I didn’t think Cherry Cobler and Soft Sky goes well together  (at least that’s my opinion).   I made a couple of cards, but in the end I was not happy.  I then went through all of my stamp sets (which isn’t a huge collection) and decided to come up with this design.  Although this is quite simple, I am happy the way this card turned out.

I am not an expert yet on photography and I am really stumped on why the soft sky card stock is looking like Coastal Cabana and Pool Party.

I used Cherry Cobler Embossing Powder (Item No. 122949) to emboss the little heart (the heart is from Create a Cupcake stamp set – Item No. 121982).  I wanted a winter theme for my card and kept the colors to a minimum.  As you all may know by now, I am not a huge fan of busy colors and so I always try to keep my color scheme very simple.

For the sentiment and the Flowers, I used the following Stamp Sets:

Morning Meadow Stamp Set – Item No. 129678

For the Birds Stamp Set– Item No. 126407

White Embossing Powder – Item No. 109132

Basic Rhinestone (Used on the Butterfly and the Flowers) – Item No. 119246

The “snow” was stamped using the sprinkles from the Create A Cupcake Stamp Set (Item No. 121982).

I used Vellum Card Stock to stamp my small Butterfly and embossed it with the white embossing powder, then punched it out with the Bitty Butterfly Punch (Item No. 129406).

I hope you all like this card.
