Embellish Magazine Color Challenge: Quirky-Cutesy-Clean Style

This is my first time participating in Embellish Magazine's Color Challenge. When I saw this beautiful colour combination which included kraft, I just had to do it! However, I couldn't have made this card without two new things that arrived in the mail this week: Groovy Guava cardstock from the lovely Angela, and my order of baker's twine from The Twinery. I'm not sure how I would describe my card-making style as I seem to be all over the place sometimes, but quirky-cutesy-clean seems like a good way to describe my style most of the time. That's how I would describe my personality and wardrobe anyway! ;)

For this card, I pulled the three cardstock colours I had and then decided which purpose each one would serve. I decorated the butterfly with some rhinestones and created antennae and a body using beading wire. Since I only had baker's twine to represent the sea foam colour, I looped that around the frame three times and tied it off. I wish I had ink in fresh foam or peach for the sentiment but since I don't I had to settle for crumb cake. This card has several layers and I wish it would've photographed better. I guess only the recipient will enjoy its true beauty. Heehee.
