Scraptastic Butterfly

Happy Wednesday!

Whew, it is finally heating up here in Central CA!  We will be in the low 100's all week.  We have been pretty lucky so far this year as we usually reach the higher temps much earlier in the summer season.  Lucky for me, I have lots of fans in my house because when I got in from work last night, the air had been running all day............but the house was hotter than heck.  Yep, the central air seems to be on the fritz and I am waiting for the repairman to show up at anytime.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that it is just the thermostat and it will be an easy fix.  In the meantime, I decided to do a little stamping.

I love the CR84FN color challenges and especially like that they are running two weeks long right now.  I would love it if they stayed that way, as it gives me a bit more time to get the challenge done before the next one comes along.  The current challenge (CR84FN36) is to use the following colors:

At first, I thought these colors were going to be a bit tricky for me to work with as I don't use alot of yellow (especially as a main focus) as a general rule.  I really like this weeks Sweet Sunday Sketch 131 so I decided to pair the two up and this is what I came up with.  This card measures 4 3/4" square.  I inked up the adorable Cocoa Bean Butterfly from Memory Box in Scattered Straw Distress ink and stamped it onto a piece of cream cardstock several times and then again onto a scrap which I cut out and layered up with some foam tape.  The Penny Black sentiment (one of my favs) is inked up in Memento Rich Cocoa and stamped over the butterflies.  The kraft base card was embossed with a leafy embossing folder and then edged with a bit of Tea Dye Distress ink.  All of the cardstock used was from my scrap pile. :)
