…and I cannot lie…lol, yes I do!!! And the sketch from The Paper Players has given me an excuse to play with some!
Well, how did I do?? I had a ton of fun with this one and sure do like how it turned out. I’m loving all the black with just a pop of color. I used Altenew’s Painted Butterflies stamp set and used Papertrey’s Blueberry Sky and Enchanted Evening for the pops of blue.
What do you think? Should I have lined my banner in black? I couldn’t decide so I left it alone, but in looking at it now, perhaps I should have…
I tried very hard to capture the sparkle on the butterfly’s wings. It’s so pretty!
Thank you very much to The Paper Players design team for always providing tons of inspiration!
And I’m also playing along with the Stamp, Paper, Ink challenge this week…tic-tac-toe challenges are so much fun!! I chose butterflies, buttons and monochromatic (although I took some liberty with monochromatic with the pop of blue)
Wishing you joy and blessings!

I love patterned paper too, and you are the queen of combining patterns, Shannon! Love your card, that beautiful butterfly set has been on my wish list for a while. Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players, and Stamp Ink Paper! Hugs!
Your cards are always so wonderful that if you felt the card looked best without a liner, then that was the best choice.
