Color Dare #275--Fern, Heather, Bashful with Option of Gold

Welcome back to another Color My Heart Color Dare challenge blog post!  This week we are inviting you to see what you can do with these Close to My Heart colors:  Fern, Heather, Bashful with an option of Gold.  You have 2 weeks to try these colors out and share them with us.  Of course, if you don't have these Close to My Heart Colors yet you can substitute similar colors so you can still play along.

My card features Basics Fundamentals paper (Heather floral background) and Enchantment Fundamentals paper (Fern striped panel) with butterfly stamped and cut from Bashful paper with the new Chelsea Gardens Cardmaking Stamp and Thin Cuts set.  I "fussy cut" the butterfly so that when I used the Thin Cut for the Gold Foil butterfly it would create a nice shadow for it.  The three gold embellishments were cut from Gold Foil with a 1/4" hold punch.  A Gold Metallic pen was used to color in the "Happy" letters.

This photo was taken from a different angle so you can see how shiny that Gold Foil paper is!

This challenge will remain open until Thursday evening, January 25 at 9PM ET.

My card layout was inspired by this Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch:
