Rather than doing a small chip card, I went for the larger style that Lexi showed with her flip flop card, and came up with this:
I used the Cover Plate from Bitty Butterflies and Raspberry Fizz cardstock...I know, I know, it looks more like a cross between Hibiscus Burst and Berry Sorbet cardstock! It really is Raspberry Fizz though...sometimes even natural sunlight can do strange things to colors!! I sponged all the butterflies with Raspberry Fizz ink before gluing them back into their cutouts to give them a little bit more definition, and then used just one that I had smooshed with ink so it stood out a bit more. My bottom piece I stamped with gray and black using Wonderful Words: Hello. This really was a fun challenge and I loved learning and doing something new!
Lots of time left to play along with this challenge, so check out Lexi's fun and beautiful cards and video and then play along right HERE.
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!

This is fabulous Marcia! Love the color and great use of that coveer plate. This type of art is new to me as well but I can't wait to try it!
Very cute love the popping bfly too
So clever, Marcia! Using the cover plate as the Pantone chip looks fabulous, and yet completely recognize each beautiful butterfly! Love it! How's the weather where you are? We're baking out west, 111 today!
Marcia, this is so awesome. Very beautiful. Great take on the challenge.
What a great idea to use the cover plate to create the "chip"! I love how you sponged the butterflies before tucking them back in their spots. Wonderful card!!
Fabulous card- I love raspberry fizz and this larger composition works so well.
Adorable...love that raspberry fizz and those sweet butterflies, wonderful card.
Marcia, very striking card! This technique with the CP and one popped item is so smart! I'll have to remember this idea for future.
So great that you made yours a pop up! And raspberry fizz is always so bright and cheery!
You nailed it, Marcia! Glad to hear I wasn't the only one unaware of Pantone art! I have an idea, but haven't tried to do it yet.
Very cute card, Marcia!! I had not heard of Pantone Chip Art as well.
This is beautiful, Marcia!
Nice take on the challenge, and I like the larger format just as much as the small chips.
