Sending Love with Butterflies Card

ETA (4/26/16): I was so excited that this card was chosen to be in the Top 3 at Tuesday Throwndown #290!  Thank you!



Hello!  I am glad you are here!

I have a card to share today that fits a couple challenges -  a sketch and a monochromatic challenge.  I was having fun with some new supplies I just got and enjoyed doing basic stamping techniques.



I stamped the background for my card using purple ink on purple cardstock.  I then used the same ink on white cardstock, and stamped just the second generation of the small butterfly.  I love using generation stamping here because I got a perfect coordinated look with just one inkpad.  

Supplies: Gina K Designs Sending Love stamp set, GKD Wild Lilac ink and cardstock, American Crafts twine.

I would love to participate in the following challenges:

Oh, Heidi, this is beautiful, and you do get a lot out of one color this way. It's beautiful, and I really love the layout and the sweet butterflies! It's that time of year we start seeing them, and I love them! Beautifully done, sweet friend! Sending hugs! xoxo

What a great idea to do the tone on tone stamping on the background, it adds so much to the design!
