House of Cards Month Three Colour Inspiration

For all of September, House of Cards have a great colour challenge for you to use as your inspiration. We would like you to choose at least 3 of the following colours for the Cute and Fun challenge this week.


From top to bottom I have interpreted the colours as the Stampin' Up colours of Pale Plum (Retired), Elegant Eggplant, Lavender Lace (Retired), Poppy Parade (Retired) and Early Espresso and managed to get all 5 colours on my card!

This card is also for the UK My Besties Challenge to use at least 3 things beginning with "B". I used a Brad, Bling, a Bow, Birthday in the sentiment and Butterflies - lots and lots of butterflies! I wanted to use either my Tim Holtz Butterflight Die or my Joy Crafts Butterfly Border die, but as I hadn't used a straight edge on the top of my card, neither of them would work, so I created my own border using lots of Memory Box Butterfly dies instead.

And I'm entering this in the Scrapbook Society's Challenge #17 Anything Goes.

And here she is...
