Black, Orange, and White - and Pay it Forward Challenge

This is my first time playing along with the Play Date Cafe Color Challenge. I just loved the color combo, and couldn't wait to play with it! I am also going to enter this in the Pay It Forward Challenge on the Moxie Fab World. Here is what I came up with:


And here is the color combo from their website:


I used Everyday Pop-up Cards to cut out the butterfly, then stamped Market Street Stamps Pretty Perfect Grid over it in with orange ink. Added some cute antenae with some Baker's twine from the Twinery, and pop-dotted him from the background.


The background shape is from Sophisticated, and I ran some Baker's twine around the edge of the white piece, tied a bow at the top, and added an orange button from my stash.


The sentiment is from Hero Arts, and the background of the card is another Market Street background stamp - Punched Tin.

Thanks for stopping by - that's all for me for now! 3 posts in a row - I was BUSY!!! Now I'm gonna go make some more to post soon! See you again soon!
