It's time for the next monthly challenge over at Pattie's Creations and our new theme is "Fall or Halloween." In honor of a new month and a new challenge, I bought a new type of die (new for me) and used it for the first time. It's a reverse die, by Memory Box, meaning that when you use it, you have the negative space showing instead of the cut out piece. Check out these butterflies.
The image is called Pumpkin Watering Can with Mums and I love it! It was fantastic to color and I used a die from Spellbinders to frame it. The sentiment is mine. I used two different colors of CS, both of which have been embossed with my 'Linen' folder.
I chose glitter-striped ribbon to add some sparkle, put a few pearls on the butterflies, and finally added a little bling to the bottom corner. Do I even need to tell you that I LOVE this card? :-D

I have no idea how much crafting I'm going to get done this upcoming week. I have some doctor appointments, some classes related to Type 2 Diabetes, and am also going to be out of town for a couple of days during the week. I'll get my DT work done and pre-scheduled but may not have much else to post. I'll play it by ear and see what gets done. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday as my start
(using the butterflies as my diagonal)
and took the colors from Catch the Bug

What a great job you did with the sketch and the colors!
Thank-you for joining us at Color Your World!
What a creative use of the negative space from the butterfly dies. You could probably use them for shaker cards, too.
Thank you for sharing it with us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week!
