Butterflies Two Ways

This is my reminder card for the June CAS Mix Up challenge.  I'm really enjoying being on their Design Team and I love the challenges Loll and Bonnie come up with each month.

I needed to make a birthday card for a young friend who loves sparkle and purple and mauve.  So I incorporated the challenge guidelines - a stamp for my sentiment, die cuts for the butterfly and the circle, and my choice - a stencil and sponging on the right and a splat of brusho on the circle.

I made the butterfly stencil myself by cutting the Memory Box Reverse Butterfly Collage die out of cs.  I sponged through it using three shades of Distress ink.

The brusho splat was made by sprinkling a tiny bit on coated cs, spritzing with water and letting it run and air dry.  I stamped the sentiment with Staz On because it was coated cs and cut out a circle with a stitched circle die.

I love the glitter cs I used - full of great shades of mauve, blue, and purple and it co-ordinated perfectly with the inks I used for sponging and the tones in the brusho splat.  I used a white glitter cs for the top layer of the butterfly.  I popped it up with foam tape.

You have until June 24th to link up a card for the challenge.  For more information, especially on the options for "your choice", head on over to CAS Mix Up.
