Can you guess what this week's TLC challenge is?? :-) When Joan told me what the challenge was, she specifically said NO PATTERNED PAPER. So I took that literally and I didn't use any patterned paper on this card, even though I was hyperventilating. LOL
This is all cardstock, and I had a blast picking a color scheme that I would not ordinarily use. I stamped the Large Polka Dot backgrounder (from Cornish Heritage Farms) onto kraft cs, the chocolate cs has been embossed with the Swiss Dots embossing folder, the teeny little light blue piece is punched with a Dotted Scallop Edge punch, and my stamped butterfly has tons of dots in the pattern. I colored in the butterfly with some Copic markers to match my cardstocks.
The inspiration for the layout is from one of Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenges (#167). I've had this sketch sitting on my table for a couple weeks now, so it was high time to put it to use. :-)

Oh So Beautiful! I happen to have this same stamp and the smaller one too... believe it or not, I do use them a lot!
What a great sketch!
