Dragonfly Dreams Challenge - Use Pinks and Purples

I hope 2025 has begun with a warm and gentle start for all of you.  I am starting the year as a new member of the design team for the Dragonfly Dreams Challenge Blog.  I love the idea of a monthly theme challenge where I get to use my stash to make cards!  I have lots of stamps and dies I don;t want to get rid of, but they also don't seem to get used!  This DT spot is great motivation to give my stash some love!

The first theme for 2025 was chosen by Deanne who is asking us to use pinks and purples. I have to admit that is a combination I don't use much, but had fun with this card.  I used a suite of products I got from the Pinkfresh Studios Craft & Connect Event last spring.  It is called Fluttering Butterflies.

I stamped and then heat embossed with white.  I used the stencils, shading with a variety of pink and purple inks for the butterflies and greens for the leaves. The die was perfect for cutting the whole pieces out at one time.  Some sequins in those same pinks and purples from my stash finished off the card.

I hope you will make some time in to get crafty this month and then share your creation in the Dragonfly Dreams Challenge Blog gallery.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.
In kindness, Cathy
