I was practically giddy when I saw this week's Thursday Challenge inspiration!
When I started on today's card, I focused on the color and was inspired to first create a color palette using our Shimmery White card stock. As I knew I was going to use water to create the look I was going for, I knew the Shimmery White card stock would hold up well. Here's what I did...
Misted Shimmery White Card Stock Tips:
Using Sponge Daubers, sponge ink colors randomly onto Shimmery White card stock (101910)
Melon Mambo
Pumpkin Pie
Pacific Point
Wet card stock with water using a spray mister.
Let dry. Speed up the drying process with a Heat Tool
Cool-huh?!
From there, the card came together rather nicely. Using the new Occasions Catalog Butterflies Thinlit Dies, cut three butterflies from the Misted Shimmery White Card Stock (I actually got 6 butterflies from one piece of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2").
The greeting is from a free Sale-a-Bration stamp set called, Simply Wonderful (6 greetings and 1 flower image). It's heat embossed with Versamark ink and White Embossing Powder. Then colored with Blendabilities (medium markers of Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi).
I just have to say - I love the way the card turned out. But I especially LOVE the Blendabilities colored embossed greeting. On the black card stock - it just pops!!
Did you know? All of the Blendabilities Marker Colors shown in the Annual Catalog are a FREE Sale-a-Bration choice until March 31st - with a $50 order. Woohoo - build your Blendabilities Collection for free!
I think I nailed this week's challenge. What do you think?

January's Paper PumpkinFilled With Love Kit is so adorable and just perfect for classroom treats. It came with 24 treat bags! Just four short for Max's classroom, so he "borrowed" a few from my kit.
A couple weeks ago the boys came over to make their Valentine's Day treats. Oh - the concentration, as Max (7) was stamping the heart just so!
Next...check out what you can do with some of the leftover materials & stamp set from the Filled with Love kit.
Filled with Love Alternative Ideas
For Sammy (5), he cut a heart using the Heart Framelits (yes, he uses the Big Shot all by himself now). Then stamped them with one of the stamps from the Filled With Love Kit. They were adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to Matchbook Sucker Covers we made together.
Didn't they turn out cute? And SO easy to make!!
Matchbook Sucker Cover:
2" x 6" Real Red
Score at 2-3/8", 4-3/4"and 5"
Punch 1/8" hole in the center of the space between the 4-3/4" & 5" score lines (1/8" Circle Handheld Punch [134365]). Insert sucker stick through the hole.
Fold bottom part of matchbook up & under the heart.
Enjoy!
Filled with Love Banner:
Die cut LOVE in Real Red cardstock with the Little Letters Thinlits Die [133730] . Adhere to hearts from the kit using Stampin' Dimensionals (cut dimensionals into smaller bits - or use glue dots)
Adhere completed hearts to 4 folded tags.
Score 3/4" from flat end of small flag and fold - need five
Using approx. 30 inches of Pink Gold Bakers Twine from the kit, assemble the banner as follows:
Start from the center with the small white flag - fold flag over twine, Staple [139083] with approx 7-8" of twine. Then tie twine in bow
Fold over O Tag and attach with gold clip from kit.
Repeat Steps 1 & 2 until banner is complete.
Enjoy!

When I first got a look at today's sketch I immediately thought of the Stampin' Up! stamp set, Kinda Eclectic. With it's "starburst" image, it was a perfect place to start.
Now, just to choose some color. I went with two of my favorite 2013-2015 In Colors, Coastal Cabana & Baked Brown Sugar, which I'll be sad to see go on June 2nd. Then added Calypso Coral for the butterfly. Something to note: the dots are Baked Brown Sugar stamped off once on a piece of scratch paper, then stamped over the starburst (thought you would wanna know).
This card came together fast, making it a fabulous QC card (quick & cute!) Change out the greeting to thinking of you or thanks and you've got a very versatile card design.
