Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week. She has given us a bright color palette and (for me) a challenging dessert option. The colors are Real Red, Bermuda Bay and Basic Black. The dessert option is "weathered."
Thanks, Chris, for this challenge! I have been wanting to try my hand at creating a wood plank layer, using my embossing folder and sprays. I didn't get exactly the effect I was looking for, but I'm satisfied with my wood planks. A combination of Weathered Wood and several different brown shades.
I stamped the butterflies and then colored them with Polychromos colored pencils. The colors are close, but I was a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to achieve a true red with even the reddest pencils. I fussy cut the butterflies, covered all the wings with a Nuvo glitter brush, and glued them onto the white layer. This was attached with foam tape over the wood plank layer. One small butterfly on the wood, and it was done!
Thanks for stopping by, and please play along with us this week!

Your simple layout is Beautiful and the detailed butterflies work perfectly with it, Barbara! The rustic bg complements the pretty butterflies quite well~
