Butterfly Flight for Paper Blooms


I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself! I wanted to fit in a quick challenge and of course my head went back to my K&Co. cream and black paper AGAIN! (Yes SandyE, I found you some.) I had these HUGE crystal swirls by Prima and had no idea what I was going to do with them (not being a scrapper and all) and then saw a lone butterfly shadow cut from Indy Art on my table and voila! Unfortunately the element I needed to make it be a part of the challenge was not in scale but I finished the card anyway so I'd have something to post.
The center cream section is embossed with the new Cuttlebug Victoria folder and I used the MS double scallop border punch along the edges. No time to finish the inside, I've got a wedding card inside to finish and then must start on my DT challenge cards. (I'm the worst procrastinator but you gotta go where the mojo flows!)
Well I have to laugh because this card WAS for the Paper Blooms "Bling" challenge but I thought although you needn't necessarily use a Paper Bloom, you did need SOME kind of bloom. Thank goodness Rose set me straight. I had PLANNED on using a Paper Bloom and would have had the size been right. I SOOOO LOVE them!
