I used a past Color Challenge on SCS (CC883)

Cinnamon Cider

Coastal Cabana

(I used Soft Suede instead of cinnamon)

CUTTING & SCORING:

Sand-colored Card Base = Cut 9-1/2" x 6" - then score the longest edge at 4-3/4"

Soft Suede Cardstock = Cut 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"; --Die cut largest Nested Stitched Scalloped Circle die

White Cardstock = Die cut 2nd largest Nested Wacky Stitched Circle die; Cut 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" (inside for message)

Patterned Paper (Teal, SU!)) = Cut 4" x 5-1/4"

DESIGN STEPS:

1. I embossed my teal patterned paper with a Parisian 3D embossing folder, and attached to Suede card panel (4-1/4" x 5-1/2")

2. I stamped a sentiment (from the Sorry For Your Loss Stamp Set at Divinity Designs) on my white circle, then sponged some Gathered Twigs distress ink to tone down the white. I glued it onto the scalloped circle, then onto my card front, over to the right edge.

3. I die cut Flower 3, Flower 5, Leafy Branches 1, 2, and 3, and the Butterfly Kayla from white cardstock and then added distress inks to color them; Gathered Twigs for branches & butterfly body.... Peacock Feathers for the blossoms and butterfly wings... Broken China for smallest blossom center.
