I enjoyed making Monday’s card so much that I didn’t want to put away the Precious Butterflies set. Lucky for me that The Friday Mashup feels the same way about butterflies this week and they have a “Butterflies and Bling” challenge. I chose to mash it up and use their colors too. Marina Mist, Perfect Plum and I added So Saffron plus a neutral of Basic Gray.
A La Card Monkey has this sketch combined with a “thinking of you” card, both of which I used too.
I did end up using a mirror image of the sketch. I stamped the image panel with intention of following the sketch exactly but when I started to lay it out, I realized it needed to be switched around. I really love this butterfly flower. It lends itself to so many cards! The So Saffon layer is First Edition Specialty DSP that has been brayered with So Saffron ink. I added some Basic Pearls as the bling part of the Mashup. Hopefully it is bling-y enough!
It was fun to sit down and stamp with these challenges! Don’t forget that you can earn this set (and other fabulous choices) by hostessing a Stampin’ Up workshop. The new hostess program makes it easier than ever to earn beautiful stamps! I hope your week is going well. Thanks for dropping by today. See you again soon!

Beautiful Jen! Love the idea of brayering over the First Edition to change the color.
Gorgeous card! Really pretty colors together!
Jen, your card looks great! I love the addition of the So Saffron and Basic Gray. I think the pearls are just the perfect amount of bling for this card!
Thanks so much for playing along with The Friday Mashup!
Wow Jen.. this is gorgeous! I love how you used the Colors in this week’s Challenge. That Butterfly set is so darling. I like how you changed up the Sketch a bit, works really well with the stamped image layout. Thanks for joining us this week at the Friday Mashup.
I love your card. That dsp is my favorite too. Brayering over it gives it a “new” look. Great job with the sketch. Thanks for playing along with as this week!

I love this card–that little butterfly is so cute. The bow makes the card, though.
Ahhhhh, this is so gorgeous! Love the reversed layout (sounds like a gymnastics move), and your bow is fabulous!
Jen your choice of So Saffron and Basic Gray is inspired, it looks fabulous. Pearls definitely work as bling. That set is sitting on my shelf just waiting for ink! Thanks for entering our Butterflies and Bling challenge at the Friday Mashup. Hope to see you playing along again soon.
