Spotted the challenge at Sir Stampalot and decided to have a go as it was using a colour combo that I would not normally have thought of putting together - green and blue.
Here is my creation:
Anyway, I based the layout of my card on the challenge over at Creative Inspirations. I used dark blue coredinations card and various green tones of paper from my stash. Of course, I had to do a bit of distressing to the blue card because I just can't resist. The centre panel has been done using Docrafts Papermania Urban stamps. I used green chalk ink to lightly stamp the grasses at the bottom. Also inked round the panel with distress ink to soften the edges a bit. The butterfly was stamped with versamark on blue cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The flowers were from WOC and my stash. Finally added a couple of brads and some gems and liquid pearls to the butterfly.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Sir Stampalot - Blue and Green
Creative Inspirations Challenge 138 - use sketch provided
Die Cut Dreams Challenge 102 - recipe, 2 brads, 3 gems, 4 flowers.
Added 17.11.11
I tried to take a better photo when I got home from work tonight but the light was still fading fast. What do you think?
Thanks for looking and please feel free to comment. I look forward to reading them.

A lovely card! Well done with our Sketch Challenge this week at Creative Inspirations Wednesday's Challenge Blog! xxx
A fabulous blue and green creation! I have resorted to a daylight/craft lamp to take my photos under. I wouldn't be without it now, as I use it for crafting, sewing and marking books and it only cost me £25. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Sir Stampalot this month and good luck!
Gorgeous work, Fab take on the sketch at CI this wk hugs Rebekah xx
