My card base is Prism blue - I don't have a clue to the special names - baby blue, light blue, sky blue, basic blue, not quite blue, could be blue but it's not, - it's too much to remember. Suffice to say it is a lighter than dark blue and quite pretty!
I stamped the silhouette flower's from Kim Hughes set Nature's Silhouette in Vintage Photo distress ink and Adirondack denim ink.
The designer paper is Basic Grey Granola and I stamped right onto the designer paper, along with the sentiment is from the Papertrey Ink set Birds of a Feather, which is a beautiful font that I just love using!
I trimmed the bottom piece of dp with my threading water punch and then added a couple of lines of embossing with my Scor-Pal.
My mail lady delivered my Cuttlebug Tag Team Butterflies just this morning - yay!! and it was perfect to use for this card!
I added a (rather large) pearl brad to the center of the butterfly to make her pretty!
Ready to send on its way - although I detest having to make these type of cards, hopefully the recipient will find some comfort in it.............
LOL on your blues...I feel like I can never remember the names of the blues...I used to only have SU papers...now I have PaperTray, Bazzill, October Afternoon and so many others..How the heck can you remember those!! Great card and fun placement of the pearl!
