My theme for this card is from the Paper Player (PP387)

I thought this was going to be a hard Challenge and almost decided against doing it, but then I found this cute picture of a guitar with a butterfly on it.  Then I looked at the picture and thought this is going to be extremely hard to color, but I decided to challenge the coloring.  It took a while, but I finally accomplished it. It isn’t professional but turned out ok.

I started with a Melon Mambo card base.  I cut a mat from Whisper White and embossed it using a musical note embossing folder.  I popped this on the card base with Stampin Dimensionals.  I cut two narrow banners, one from a scrap of musical card stock and one from a piece that was left from the embossing. I find it better to emboss before you cut.  The paper seems to shrink a bit when it is embossed. I used glue dots to adhere these to the embossed mat.

I colored the guitar and butterfly using Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green, Perfect Plum, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight Stampin pads and a Blender Pen.  I mixed the Garden Green and the Lemon Lime Twist, making this a different color of green.  I popped this against the two banners.

I did not do an inside sentiment at this time as I do not know who the card will be going to.

That’s my card. Hope you like it. Come Again!
