Label Love and Really Good Greetings!

Today it's a Color Challenge, CCMC 264 at Create with Connie and Mary!  The lovely hues of Blushing Bride, Pistachio Pudding and Smoky Slate comprise our challenge color scheme!

I am so loving these color challenges... they make me try some new and different combinations.  I will confess that I was glad Stampin' Up! came out with a new lighter gray this year but I never anticipated just how much I would love it!!  This Smoky Slate is gorgeous!  I used it for the background; first I lightly stamped it with the fine vine stamp from Creative Elements then used the Polka Dot embossing folder and the Big Shot.

I used the "to/from" label from the Label Love set and inked it with the Smoky Slate marker, omitting the words; this gave me a frame for the butterflies.  The Pistachio butterflies were punched from the new In Colors Designer Papers Stack; the Blushing Bride one was stamped onto Whisper White with the butterfly stamp from Creative Elements then punched out with the Bitty Butterfly punch.

I added small Basic Pearls to the butterflies and colored (with a Sharpie) Pearls to the greeting banner.  See all the sparkle?  I came up with a way to dust my cards with glitter and it doesn't come off!!  First I spritzed with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz then quickly dusted it with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  Voila!!  It really holds the glitter on!

Here again is the Create with Connie and Mary color scheme for this week:
