I decided to participate in Kristina's color challenge this week because I needed a quick card to send. West Elm is a great store! They are actually owned by Williams-Sonoma, my favorite (kitchen) store, so I'm not surprised by their merchandise. Williams-Sonoma also owns Pottery Barn, another make your house into a home favorite.

The color choices are great and my guest bedroom is decorated using this color scheme, so I had to participate!





To create this card, I cut a piece of the pattern paper and the orange cardstock. I tore one edge of the orange cardstock for an unfinished look. These pieces were all adhered to chocolate cardstock. I added satin reversible ribbon around the divided line and tied it in a knot. I used American Craft Thickers (leg warmers edition) for the sentiment. The butterflies are stamped in brown ink with polka dots and have a brown stickled body.
