How do you like that title?? It came from the SCS color challenge this week: crushed curry, rich razzleberry and black. I decided to challenge myself to use those colors on my Flutter by Wednesday card. This week's FBW challenge is to include flowers in our design along with a butterfly or fairy. The flower part isn't too hard but these colors were really challenging! I actually had felt flowers in these colors that I purchased forever ago - so yay - I am using up some of my stash! I ran the card front through the Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls and Swiss Dots embossing folders. I layered the felt flowers and secured them with brads and then attached them to the card front with mini glue dots. I also happened to have a crocheted butterfly in a Razzleberry color so I added a curry colored brad and attached it with glue dots also. The crocheted butterfly is from Paper Blooms Etsy store.
So I hope you play along with our FBW team! And if you do, please link your card to Mr Linky on Danni's blog. I believe she is giving away blog candy again this week in honor of her birthday this month!
Thanks for coming by!
Supplies: Paper - PaperTrey Stampers Select; Misc - Maya Road felt flowers, Making Memories brads, Cuttlebug Embossing Folders, Mini Glue Dots, Paper Blooms Crocheted butterfly.

Love the way you used the two CB folders and I like the way the flowers are arranged on the card because it makes the embossed backgrounds look like they were done at an angle too. Nice going using up some old supplies!!!
