Coral Butterflies - CCMC300

Here's a card I made for the color challenge at Create with Connie and Mary. I'm so happy both the Swallowtail and the Papillon Potpourri sets weren't retired, since they are two of my favourites.
 
I wasn't sure what to do with this color challenge, they aren't exactly colors I use often or that I would've put together, but I do like the end result.
 
 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Swallowtail, Papillon Potpourri

Ink: Calypso Coral

Paper: Basic Grey, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla card stock

Misc: Butterfly punch, Epic Day This And That Designer Washi Tape, Natural 5/8" Chevron Ribbon, rhinestones, dimensionals

  6. That swallowtail looks great in Calypso Coral on Crumb Cake cs and the Chevron Ribbon and washi tape pull in the challenge colors in such a great way and keep the focus on the large butterfly! The smaller butterfly is a great touch! Thanks for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary!
