Just Rite Challenge with Butterflies...

I have been so very busy and didn’t have time to do the last Just Rite Challenge… ooops… but hey… family is very important… and so I felt it was justified… LOL…

Anyway… I did take time yesterday to make a card for the color challenge…  we could use a Blue… ivory and tan…  which I used all the colors…  

Challenge card

I used the Bahama Blue and the Desert Sand  in the Memento marker set… and then I used the Antique Linen by Ranger (distress pad only on the embossing areas )  … as it was so very close to the tan in the picture on the Just Rite challenge…  so those are the colors I used…

Then I used a couple of old almost truly vintage paper…  for the backgrounds… one is by Provo (polka dots) … they haven’t been making paper for years… the other is by???  Un-marked… so I have no way of remembering where I got that piece of paper… 

The Embossed trim is from the newest Tim Holtz embossing folders… called Fancy and Floral…  and I used the floral one as the borders, which I had to cut apart so I could use them...  and the Fancy one under the  center Just Rite Medallion…

Okay… now the set called  Butterfly Garden by Just Rite…. Love it… so I had to use ALL the butterfly stamps… I inked them all up with Ranger Archival ink… in black… and then I used Antique Linen on each one… to turn them all that lovely light tan… then I used my Memento blue marker to color the flowers ever so lightly and the butterflies…  then used white copic to enhance the areas I wanted to stand out…. I used a very very tiny little brush… and it took me longer to do that… than the rest of the card… LOL.. but I do love details…  

Top Medallion on the card

I used the Spellbinder Heart circle for the saying and the medallion background… a little light chalks around the edge… just to give a little more definition to the layered look…  a pretty 1.5 inch sheer ribbon for the bow and border…  which runs through the card… into the center and out again…

All the colors are so yummy together… love it… Thanks Just Rite for the challenge…  hope that you all enjoy trying this one too… join in on the fun with these challenges.. .they help to expand the brain… and also are fun… hope to see your card join mine… you have until Thursday…. So have fun making a pretty card…
