Outlawz Creative Freebie Challenge


Well here's the big reveal-Whew I didn't think I was going to get it done in time.  The great thing about this freebie challenge is that when you sign up at Outlawz  for this Freebie group, you get 2 free digi's-for this great gift, you are expected to complete a project and enter it within 2 weeks.  And for that, you are given 2 more images to repeat the process again in 2 weeks.  You could build quite a collection that way-they also share their digi's on the site.  I'm sure there's more to offer (they have challenge groups that run 7 days a week)-I've just touched the tip of the iceberg.
I colored this butterfly so intensely that I decided not to use blues but some of the accent colors.  This is a different style card:

  • flat piece of cardstock for the back layer
  • second layer as an accent -will be seen around the edge
  • fold in half the top layer-this will actually be the opening flap( dark rose in this picture, glue the back down
  • I ran some kraft cardstock through my embossing machine, cut the panels, mounted them on navy accent mats and then onto the front flap. I used blue dew drops  to accent the corners.
  • Stamped a sentiment on the front flap.
  • Then added the crowning touch with foam dots.
Thanks for visiting!  come back again and stay a spell!  Carolyn
