Challenge Winning cards

Red Butterfly

Sometimes I wonder if a card can be too simple. Is just sticking something on a piece of card creative enough? That's a bit how I feel about today's card...


For the spotty background I used a piece of sequin waste as a mask and dabbed dark red ink on it with cotton wool. The butterfly is from an Anita's Dimensions sticker pack which I blinged up with some gems. The sentiment is computer generated. And that's it.

 I've entered this card into the challenges at:

 Less Is More - wings
Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge - monochrome
CASology - monochrome
4 Crafty Chicks - things with wings

 Thanks for popping in

    I don't believe that a card can be too simple! I love how you upcycled your sequins waste to create a very effective, subtle background without overpowering your gorgeous butterfly. This is a beautiful example of CAS monochrome. Thanks so much for joining us at CASology this week!!!

    Lovely and simple card. I don't think it is to plain the red gives it a pop of color. I am visiting you from Less is More challenge. I am now your newest follower. Please stop by my blog and say HI. Traci

    it may be simple, but it's very lovely. The card you used has a nice texture and I love how the background kind of fades.
