True Colors...MFTGUESTDT1112

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great weekend! After settling in after being away for nearly a week, I sat down and played with some of my favorite things ;) 
In case you were not aware, MFT has a monthly Guest Designer Contest! You have a chance to win over $200 in stamps and Die-namics from an upcoming release. Moreover, the winner joins the team for our weekly Wednesday Stamp Club sketches, as well as Teaser Time for the subsequent month’s release. Please visit the MFT blog for COMPLETE information.

Here is the fun sketch for this month's Guest Designer Contest:
I had a lot of fun with this sketch! I gave my Vagabond and Die-namics Butterflies dies a great workout ;) I took advantage of the four circular die-cut "windows" made with the Die-namics Peek-a-Boo Squared die to showcase 8 pretty colors of MFT cardstock including: (left to right, larger butterfly die cut color listed first) Berrylicious & Sno Cone, Cotton Candy & Pink Lemonade, Grape Jelly & Grapesicle, Kraft & Natural.
I stamped a sentiment from Clearly Sentimental about Art on a die cut strip made using Die-namics Sentiment Strips.
Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you join along in the fun. Remember, if you don't play, you can't win! Please be sure to visit the MFT blog for COMPLETE details!
I'll be back tomorrow with an all new CR84FN Color Challenge.
Be Sweet :)

    This is awesome! I love the colors, and love how you placed a few of the butterflies askew, that adds wonderful interest to the card!

    Mona, this is such a pretty card. I like how the one butterfly is off center. It appears to be in flight. :) Have a lovely Saturday.

    I always find this kind of layout a challenge, but you really excelled with your beautiful tone on tone butterflies. Love your inking around each of the circle edges and sentiment, which really makes them stand out from the base. Fabulous job!

    The way that you embossed the circles and placed them back in position is wonderful. It adds such interest and texture to the card.
