Color Dare #664 - Thank You

This is my Design Team project for Color Dare #664 using at least two shades of blue.  As I was looking through my stash I came across a very old floral from one of CTMH Fundamental paperpacks and it already had two blues meeting the requirement and perfect as a background. Decided to use a third color, Sapphire, for a second border. 
 

My immediate thought was to add butterflies using the same colors... so I sought out a pair of butterfly dies.  Cut the shadow base for each butterfly with glacier and cut the decorative butterfly for each using Lagoon. Each were glued on body part only, then adhered to background using 3D thin foam tape and the wings were rolled for additional dimension.  


Sentiment was cut using Lagoon cardstock and then adhered direct to the background and a butterfly was added to the inside r-h corner of card base. 

Please hop on over and join us at Color Dare's Color Board #664 and check out the Design Teams inspiration, and then let us see what you create... hope to see you there.

If you like to combine additional Challenges... consider hopping over to either Double Trouble "3-2-1 Recipe" and/or our sister challenge Try a Sketch on Tuesday and see how easy it might be to combine one or both challenges with Color Dare.

Love the look you created with your "scrap". It's ice when that happens.
