Welcome back! Hoping you are having a sensational Saturday.
Play time! The challenges: Double Trouble (#197) and the 3-2-1 game (Colors, Layers, Technique) with a twist and a share with Triple B (August) and Try a Sketch on Tuesday (#676).
Additionally, I was influenced by Inkspirational (#348) for the CAS Style and the Floral Twist along with the Color Throwdown (#838) palette and sharing with Ellibelle’s Garden Party (#6).
Here is the result:
Steps:
- Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic Black cardstock.
- Card Front – Layer #1: (4″ x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
- The Floral and Butterfly images from the recently retired Spotlight on Nature stamp set were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- The sentiment, Thinking of You, from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set was also added with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
- The Butterfly, Floral bits and Leaf bit were die-cut with the (2⅛”) Stitched Circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies set.
- Accent Mat – Layer #2: Basic Black cardstock scrap punched out with the retired (2¼”) Circle Punch.
- Spotlight Circle – Layer #3: Previously die-cut circle image was colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers. Colors chosen: Butterfly – Light and Dark Peach Pie; Blooms – Light and Dark Strawberry Slush; and Leaf Tip – a blend of Light Shaded Spruce and Light Old Olive.
- To finish off the Spotlight Technique, Balmy Blue ink was added to the circle with a Blending Brush.
All elements were then adhered to the card base for a clean and simple card featuring Flowers and Butterflies.
I appreciate that you spent some of your time with me today. Cheers, Jolanda!

Jolanda, what a beautiful card marrying both Try A Sketch On Tuesday, and Double Troubles challenge elements! I really like that you added that touch of blue to the sky of your spotlight. Using a thin black matt behind the stitched circle really draws the eye. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity once again with both our challenges!!! -Donna
