Paint Chips and Sketch 021

I just love paint chips, don't you? Something about browsing them in the home improvement section just makes me happy! :o)
I sat down this week to make a paint chip card. Really the card was inspired by this tre-chic clothing tag I cut from a Tee earlier in the week. As luck would have it, the colors in the tag coordinated beautifully with some new paint chips I recently picked up. Ahhh, Serendipity, I do love when you come to visit!!
The card was further inspired by FCD's Sketch 021, a diagram of which was still laying on my craft table from last week's hop. Way cool - this very quickly brought the card together! Gawd, I love a quickie! LOL

The two images used are the butterfly from Bliss, and the smaller sprig from the Chicory set.
The chicory flower was stamped onto a matching die-cut from FCD after I had inked it to match. The butterfly was inked, stamped, embossed and then cut out.

Hope you enjoyed this one. It felt good to sit down and create for no reason other than I just wanted to! Hope you find time to create this week, too! ;o)

As always, thanks for stopping by! Happy Stampin'! Ursula
