Spring Flowers and Butterfly! CCMC344

Today we have Create with Connie and Mary Color Challenge #344!  It's a lovely combination of Blackberry Bliss, Rose Red and Blushing Bride!  I suspect that Mary was influenced by the Artisan Embellishment Kit in the Occasions Catalog for this combo, lol!, because these are the colors used in this kit!

I began with a standard 5.5" x 4.25" folded card of Rose Red cardstock and layered it with Blackberry Bliss.  Next the Spring Flowers Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF for short) was sponged with the three challenge colors and spritzed  lightly with water.  Then I put the white cardstock layer in it and rubbed it well with my fingers (I did not run it through the Big Shot).  This gives a soft multicolored Spring Flowers background for the card. 

The Blackberry Bliss Butterfly was adhered with Glue Dots.  The Rose Red Crochet Trim from the Artisan Embellishment Kit was "threaded" it with the narrow and lush Blackberry Bliss Velvet Ribbon;  I attached this with Fast Fuse Adhesive which holds it wonderfully well!  The "Happy Day" sentiment is from the Cheerful Critters set  and the small flowers from the Something to Say set.
