Bye, Bye Butterflies! . WW#25
Welcome to Wednesday, everyone! What a special Wacky Wednesday Challenge (#25) the talented Linda Duke has in store for all of us today! Because Rubbernecker Stamps is sponsoring the weekly Color Throwdown Challenge, the WW#25 Challenge is for us to use the Color Throwdown colors on our projects. Design teams from both will be using the same colors. Here are the colors: SU Bermuda Bay, SU Dusty Durango, and SU Soft Suede. Some of us will be using the following Prism cardstocks instead: Prism Vibrant Teal, Prism Desert Coral Dark, & Prism Suede Brown Medium.
Extra news this week! By linking your creations to our Rubbernecker Blog thread +and+ to the Color Throwdown Blog thread, you’ll have +two+ chances at winning a prize this week! AND, everyone who enters a link at the Rubbernecker Blog will be qualified to use the 10% code of WW25 towards shopping at the Rubbernecker store! The winner of our Rubbernecker Challenge will win a 40% coupon! Best of luck to each of you!
My project includes 3-D work, along with heat embossing, as well as following the Prism colors for the Color Throwdown challenge this week! At first, I had to wonder about the colors, but the truth is, once you begin to play with them, it’s a fabulous combination!! I’ve added gold embossing to play against the colors.
After stamping the butterfly images with embossing ink, the images were embossed in gold then trimmed & embellished with coordinating Martha Stewart glitters. The 3-D floral image was cut from the same designer papers & cardstock as seen on the card, using my ‘Slice’. Of course, more MS glitter was added to bring everything together.
I wish you the best on today’s WW25 challenge! I had a splendid time working on my sample project for you. For more inspiration & eye-candy, you’ll enjoy checking out the Red Hot Mamma’s blogs as listed below!

I had my doubts about these colors too, but agree… once you start with them, it’s really a nice combo! Your card is outstanding, Bev! Those butterflies are amazing! And now that I see what Copic colors you used, I see a few more Sketch markers I “need” to add to my collection!
