First, I’d like to thank you for your kind and encouraging words while my neck heals. It starts getting better and then we take a step or two backwards. I go back Friday and I’m pretty sure he is going to send me in for an MRI. I’ve been dodging it, hoping it’ll get better. I doubt he lets me try that argument again. *smile*
Today’s challenge at the PPA is a Margaret Moody sketch...
I actually inked up my unused Circle Circus Stamp Set. I was so proud of myself. Its one of my unused favorites. The colors for todays card are Night of Navy, Whisper White, and Peach Parfait.
The gems are from the Rhinestone Brad collection. I took off the metal brad and adhered with a mini glue dot. The butterfly body is the Basic Pearls. The butterflies were created by embossing a piece of Peach Parfait scrap with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder and punching with the Butterfly Punch.
and here’s the inside, adding a bit of Peach Parfait Ribbon...
I hope you’ll join us at the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge this week!!! We so love to see what you create. You inspire us too!!!

Another beauty! Love the colors you paired up together and I agree with you on the stamp set, one of my favorites! Keep healing!
This is so pretty Carla! I love the colors - never would have thought to pair them together. I am on such a butterfly kick lately and that punch is on my next order. Love how you embossed the card stock first!! Hope your neck feels better real soon, Good luck at the MD!
Another WOW card! Very Clever, taking the brads apart, I'll have to remember that one. I can relate to an unused favorite, I just did the same thing with the Whimsy Garden stamp set. Good Luck with the Doc tomorrow!
Oh I just love this color combination! I'm thinking it will make a great swap card for Convention, too! ;)
Love this card and the colors you used. Just beautiful. Hope your neck gets better real soon.
Carla what a beautiful color combo. I too, would never have tried them, but I love them together. Love the butterflies and pearls, and taking the brad apart.. great tip.
I certainly hope things get better with your neck. I know it must be frustrating (had a bad back for years and it comes and goes) but don't overdo and hopefully it will right itself soon. Hugs.
Beautiful, Carla! I love the color combination! Such a classy card!
Carla

Carls, I just love everything about this! The color combo is beautiful and your design is just so awesome! You have inspired me to dust of my neglected Circle Circus set that I love so much. :) I sure hope you get to feeling better soon. Sending you positive thoughts that they figure out what is going on really soon. Big hus your way! :)
Just gorgeous! The navy and the peach together are wonderful! So pretty - and the inside is as well! Bring your ear plugs for the MRI - lots of clanging but it doesn't hurt! Sure hope your hurting stops soon!
I really like these colours you've chosen for this sketch. Hard ones for me to work with so I appreciate your inspiration. What a beautiful card. Love the different textures with the ef and butterflies. I pray things go well at your app't.
Elegant and classy card, Carla, love it. I hope each day is finding you a little better. I miss you!
I love your colors, Carla! And those butterflies are so happy. The inside is just as wonderful as the outside!
Great use of the sketch. I love the color combo, too.
I hope your neck feels better soon.
Hugs, M
Carla, your card is just gorgeous!
Another beautiful card Carla! I just love the peach on peach with a touch of navy blue! Hugs, J
The embossed butterflies are so pretty and the pearls add a touch of elegance to them. Lovely card.
Very pretty card Carla! I really love the embossed paper, and would love to know where you got it. Your butterflies are delicious with those pearls running down the center.
Good luck tomorrow! ;D
Carla another gorgeous card, the colors are so pretty together. I really like all the deets...butterfly pearl body so cute, embossed butterflies-elegant, but LOVED your comment about your favorite Unused stamp set, me too!
I hope your MRI reveals a minor problem that can be resolved easily, good luck. All your blogger friends are thinking of you.
Simply GORGEOUS!!! I'm totally casing this awesome creation of yours
OMG! Carla!!! Your color palette and composition are incredible. Each card you post is better than the last!

Sorry to hear about your neck and I hope you get relief soon. I too am suffering with my left knee since January. It's hard to be creative when you're in extreme pain but your cards are always so beautiful. In the midst of many beauties I have to say I love your Masculine Birthday card on May 4th.
Take care and I'm praying for you.
Very pretty, Carla! Love the color combo.
Feel better, sweetie!
I hope you get to feeling better Carla. This is such a beautiful card. The butterflies are so pretty!! TFS
Carla, what a wonderful use of scraps...love it!
