Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #189. Join us in this week’s challenge combining the colors, White Daisy, Thistle, Hollyhock and Juniper (all and only) until Thursday, April 21, 2016 to create and link up your project ...look forward to seeing your inspirations for this color challenge. We encourage you to use CTMH products; however you may use any products to participate using closest to colors...and still join in the fun. 
Block card AKA Stair Step Card by Deb Valder, You Tube, excellent tutorial on the scoring and assembling of the Stair Step Card...that was the easy part...now the decision of what papers and theme to use. The Color Challenge of course made it quite easy for a floral arrangement...so Cricut Design Space was kept pretty busy with cutting butterflies, flowers, and foliage in each of the challenge colors and having just received my CTMH Order my Sentiment "Spring," and in Thistle, was right in front of my eyes...easy decision. The Floral arrangement at the top of the card was colored with ShinHan alcohol-based pens, and the little Chick and hello were also from the Penelope Complements.
The height and width of the card was 4 1/2", but able to add embellishments 2 1/2" at the top of the card to fit in a 5 x 7 envelope. The photo above is how I chose to collapse the card with the sentiment at the bottom for mailing. The photo below is another way of collapsing the card.

Gorgeous card! Love all the layering and what a great background paper to go with all the layering.
So inspiring! I love how the layers and colors balance so well. I totally agree, the base idea comes, but then the tricky part is deciding what elements to add!
Great job and thanks for sharing.
Super cute!!! Thank you for joining us at Cut It Up, good luck!!! Amy DT

Wow, I have never tried this "Stair Step" design, but feel I wouldn't be able to come close to your gorgeous creation, Sue! It's amazing. Thank you so much for playing along at Creative With Stamps~Butterfly Challenge :)
This is stunning, Sue! All the small details... it takes several minutes to take it all in so nothing is missed. You went to the limit with this one - the pieces are perfectly placed and so carefully cut to the right sizes - everything is "just so". Absolutely love it!
Gorgeous!!! Love the step card made this way. I'm going to have to try it this way. Beautiful colors and love all the wonderful die cuts you added. Thanks for joining us at TT.
