This is my inspiration to you. Grab out the colours and see which ones go nicely together. I'd just made another card using sugarplum so I knew I had to feature that. It is the colour of the year but it will be soon replaced with a new colour... got to use it while I can. I'll be sad when sugarplum retires. 

To start my cardmaking process, I grabbed a white card and envelope (although the colour looks more ivory than daisy white in my photo). Where is all my natural light when I need it! 

I got out my Big Shot and my Thin cut flowers. I cut the big flower in Sugarplum, the inner centre in Ballerina, the leaves in Mink and the stitched square in black. Then I stamped the butterfly from this months Stamp of the Month Bear Hugs—July Stamp of the Month,  in black. I decided it didn't need a sentiment. I added a white pearl into the centre of the flower. A simple basic card to send to a friend or add a sentiment inside or later on. 

I love these stitched thin cuts too, especially the flowers. they are retiring soon too, so grab them while you can. The stamp of the month is only available in July.

This week's challenge Colour Dare #350. 

4th of July Inspiration photo. I see lots of mustards and reds and greys in this photo (so thats what I chose to create with). I'm in Australia so we don't celebrate 4th of July here but anyone can see these colours and create something wonderful. 

Guidelines on Neutrals: Neutrals are free to use.

You are invited to participate in this challenge too. Go to the link for Colour Dare #350 and add your entry.

I used this months Stamp of the Month Bear Hugs—July Stamp of the Month and the gorgeous paper from the Into the Wild Paper PacketWith Red Pearls and a strip of Goldrush cardstock. 

I had some white daisy cut shapes pre-cut from my cricut so I trialled a few shapes before choosing the heart. Fussy cut out my Heather inked teddy bear.
