It is Thursday and time for the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge.  This week it is a color challenge. 

I chose Polished Pink part of the 2021-23  In Color as my third color.  I thought it would provide a nice pop of color.

I stamped and heat embossed  the flowers from the Happiness Abounds stamp set using black embossing powder. The centers of the flowers were colored using Blending Brushes and Polished Pink ink.   A Blending Brush was also used to add some black ink.  The beautiful butterfly in Sahara Sand and Basic Black was cut using the Brilliant Wings die.  The 3 Polished Pink embellishments on the butterfly's body  are the 2021-23 In Color Opal Rounds.  The ribbon is the 3/8" Open Weave ribbon in Polished Pink.  This ribbon is available in all the 2021-23 In Colors.

I like to decorate the inside of my cards.  On this card I added another layered butterfly cut using the Brilliant  Butterflies dies. 

Sahara Sand is a color I do not use very much and  I always wonder why I don't.  I think this color combination is fun and unexpected.  

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out what the other members of the design team  created for this challenge,
