Happy Birthday card for CQC #48

Good Day All!!

I just cannot get over how time flies. It's been a week since I was in the stamp room to make a card. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for all the blog challenges out there. It keeps me coming back to stamp.

This week, I decided to hop on over to ColourQ for their weekly color challenge. This week, the colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake (Kraft), and Vanilla or White. These colors are definately not ones I would normally choose, so it was really a challenge for me.
Here is my card:

I was actually happily surprised how it turned out. As I was working on it, I was reminded of someone looking out their old sod house window back in the 1800's. Maybe a sweet sunset at the day's end (except for the white grass) with the cute little white butterflies. (We have these all over the place at our house in Nebraska). Tried to make it a bit rustic, but then added the burst of color for contrast.

After I showed it to my hubby, he laughed and said it was his favorite. I had to laugh, too, because I know he said that simply for my behalf. I really don't think he cares one way or the other. :> Oh well, I like it.

TTFN,
Debi
