I'm very excited to have my color combination featured this week on Pals Paper Arts!  I hope you like it enough to play along! These colors are very soothing to me and remind me of the beach.  As always, I made two cards. The first is for someone who is going through chemo and the second was for a friend who successfully defended her dissertation. I'd love it if you would join us for this challenge!  I can't wait to see all of the pretty creations using this combination.  Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment.

I stamped my butterfly with Watercolor Wings and then used ButterfliesThinlits to cut the top piece and Bold Butterfly Framlits for the Crumb Cake layer.  The tag is from Lots of Labels.  The sentiment is from Greatest Greetings.  The Cucumber Crush striped paper is envelope paper.  It's nice and thin for envelope liners , but is also a great dsp!  I finished with the pretty green pearl from a recent Paper Pumpkin kit.  Please let me know if you have questions.

I created this card using the Party Pants set from Sale-a-Bration which is no longer available.  There is a cute balloon set which can still be ordered called Balloon Celebration.  This is in the Occasions 2016 catalog which is ending May 31.

This was a fun sketch by Amy Lazzell!  I had some left over flowers from a previous card so I paired them with this pretty Botanical Gardens paper from the Occasions 2016 Catalog.  It's all about cleaning up those stray pieces on my desk these days!  I made this for my sister-in-law's birthday. I have to say, this bundle wasn't first on my list, but it has become my favorite.  Let me know what you think.

p.s.  I forgot to mention that I used Watercolor Wings for the sentiment!

I love this combination for the Pals Paper Arts color challenge!  I thought it was perfect for a Thanksgiving card but I've finished all of mine.  I then remembered that I had a November birthday coming up so that's what I made.

I pulled out the Watercolor Wings and went to work.  I realized I only had a small piece of chocolate chip paper left, so that is on my shopping list for next time.  I do love these butterflies.  They are so versatile!  I made a few extra so that I can whip out more cards later.  Thanks for looking and letting me know what you think!  Please come over to Pals Paper Arts and join us in the challenge!  We would love to see your creations.

This color combination is GORGEOUS, in my humble opinion!  I love all three colors and together, they are amazing.  I also love the butterflies.  I can't stop playing with them!
