Artful Delight Friday - Butterfly Kisses


Hey everyone!  Happy Friday!

This week's Artful Delight card was built around this gorgeous floral print.  I love the soft watercolor feel to the paper and really wanted to showcase it.

The sentiment is from the Jillibean Soup stamp set that comes with the kit.  It's stamped on a very subtle patterned paper from the kit with Hero Arts Wet Cement, which I thought matched that soft gray Bazzill cardstock really well.

That sweet yellow button with the scalloped imprints is from the kit and I added a couple of my Punky Sprouts buttons as complements with May Arts Burlap Twine as an accent.  A few enamel dots added an extra pop of color.


ETA (Edited to Add):  I'm going to link this up with the Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World.  I think the soft colors and flowers are perfect for that challenge - here's the trigger graphic:



That's all for today!  Hope you are having a great week.  Looking forward to one last weekend of summer before Andrew goes back to work.  Ellie starts after Labor Day, but the teachers go back a week early.  Gotta make the weekend a good one!

Supplies Used:  Artful Delight August Card Kit; Punky Sprouts Buttons; May Arts Burlap Twine; Hero Arts Wet Cement Shadow Ink; MME - The Sweetest Thing Enamel Dots; CTMH - Dimensional Foam Tape and Liquid Glass; Tombow - Mono Adhesive
