...Another Occasions Mini Sneak Peek

This is my submission for both Kristina Werner's Color Inspiration #44, and Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge #71 {created by Sharon Harnist this week}. I started with a Close to Cocoa Cardstock base, then matted each additional layer with Chocolate Chip Cardstock. The large pink background panel was a piece of Pink Pirouette Cardstock that had been pierced around the edges using a Mat Pack and Paper Piercer. The patterned paper used on the horizontal panel was from the Bella Rose Designer Series Paper pack. The focal panel was created by stamping the leaves from the new set "Great Friend" in Pink Pirouette Classic Ink onto Whisper White Cardstock. The sentiment was created using stamps from the same set, and also using a Stamp-a-ma-jig and Image Sheet for proper placement on a piece of Pink Pirouette Cardstock. The words were stamped in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, then embossed using Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Gun. The completed sentiment panel was cut out using CutterBee Scissors, then attached to the white panel using Dimensionals.

The butterfly was from the Level One Hostess Set called "God's Beauty", and it was also stamped in Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, then embossing with Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Gun. I colored the wings with a Blender Pen and the Pretty in Pink Classic Ink Pad. I then colored over the classic ink with my Sakura Gold Glaze Pen to add some subtle "sparklage" {as my children would say}. It was also cut out and mounted to the white panel using Dimensionals. Three Dark Brown Half Pearls were added to the focal panel to complete the card.

That's it for now! I am working on some other challenge cards, so I may have something else to share before the day is out. Thanks for stopping by, and I will see you all later! Until then...
