FBW221 In With the New

Happy New Year and welcome back to Flutter By Wednesday!  This week our challenge is In With the New - use something new or make a card around the theme "new" (new baby, new house, etc).  I got a new Silhouette Cameo and couldn't wait to make something with it!  This card was made with the Cameo - it cut out the A2 size card and the butterfly.  I attached the raspberry fizz polka dotted paper on the inside of the card front for some color and stamped the sentiment from PaperTrey Ink.  It was pretty bare so I embossed the card front with a Tim Holtz embossing folder.
I hope you come and play with us - just stick to the theme and don't forget to include a butterfly or a fairy!  Then link up your project to the Flutter By Wednesday blog and don't forget to check out what the rest of the team created!

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
Casology Week #25 - NEW
Simon Says Stamp -  New Something


Thanks for coming by!

I love the contrast of a bright butterfly against white branches! Can't wait to see what else you create with your new Cameo! :)

Sheri said...

What a pretty card. Such a big splash of color against the white makes this one really pop. Ingenious thinking!

A fabulous embossing folder. Love that you die-cut on top of it. That butterfly is gorgeous and the pop of color on the all white background is stunning! Loll xx

Love the bright pink on all that lovely white space! Congrats on the new Cameo - I'm still resisting (I have a Cricut and really can not justify another machine), but I get weaker every day! Thanks so much for playing along with CASology this week, Harriet! And I saw that you got to play with Darnell this week - how fun! (loved your sweater - I feel a card coming on!)
