i {heart} papers DT Challenge: Slightly Askew

The i {heart} papers DT is participating in another challenge. The theme for this challenge is to put something askew on your card. I tend to do linear kind of designs, but I managed to pull this one off!

I used this week’s ingredients from the recipe challenge at Sketches {by Tamara} along with Lauren’s Saturday sketch challenge to create this card. The required elements for the recipe challenge were patterned paper, ribbon, and an image of something that flies.

I love the pretty Amy Butler die cut butterflies, so I decided to use one of them as the focal point of my card. I set the butterfly, askew, meeting the requirements for the IHP challenge, on a cream circle and stamped “hello” from the Hero Arts All Occasions Messages stamp set on the circle.

I matched the colors in the butterfly to the colors in the My Mind’s Eye Penny Lane designer paper. Since the patterns in the paper and on the butterfly have a lot going on, I layered the butterfly on a pair of solid cardstock panels. I added a trio of buttons, threaded with shimmery pink ribbon, to the side of the panel.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the IHP DT has set askew. Links to their blogs are in the sidebar on the left.
