It's photo challenge week at
Just Us Girls and the photo Judy picked has a lot to inspire you.
I wanted to try and make a background with wavy lines and different colors. After much thinking and some practicing I made one with the embossing folder print technique.
I wiped 4 different Distress Inks on the Forest Branches folder and pressed my cardstock into it. After adding the sentiment from PB, I stamped some little butterflies in colors similar to the background and made a larger die cut one for the top.
There's plenty of inspiration for you at the
challenge blog so go take a look and then look hard at the photo and see it there isn't something that catches your eye that you would like to make a card with. If you are chosen Chic of the Week you could be our next Guest Designer like
Colleen Foelker.

Bobby this is a gorgeous card ... so it was just pressed, not run through a machine? Pardon me, I must go back for a second, or third look! xx

This is so pretty, Bobby!! What a fabulous technique!
Brilliant! Your waves of colors are fabulous, Bobby! Such a clever way to create them; will try that with a similar folder, though it probably won't look nearly as cool as yours. Sweet butterflies, and I love the way the large one starts out as yellow then blends into green - just like your colors! Gorgeous. Bev
Love the effect you got for your background Bobby. Such pretty colours and those fluttering butterflies are just gorgeous.
Great idea for this photo challenge Bobby! Looks terrific!
That's such a gorgeous look, Bobby ... those waves of rainbow colour are just lovely ... a perfect backdrop to that wonderful kaleidoscope of butterflies! Delicious! Hugs, Anita :)
Great technique! I love the way all of the colors blend together. Love the butterflies too.

Bobby, I guess two minds are thinking along the same line...butterflies!! That is what I saw too, but your background is sure gorgeous! I love how you made it! Thank you for allowing me to play alongside you this month of August. It has been a joy and delight to be in the lineup with you and the other designers...you are all so talented! Heart Hugs, Colleen
Bobby, your card is absolutely stunning!! LOVE the way you've blended the colors so effortlessly on your background! And using an embossing folder as your 'stamp' was pure genius! The butterflies and sentiment go so well together!
Absolutely brilliant the way you made that beautiful background! I love how the butterflies coordinate with the background. That sentiment fits this perfectly with that dreamy effect.
This is so stinkin' pretty. I love what you have done with that photo challenge. Your background is gorgeous, I must try using all the colors like that. And your butterflies are the perfect final touch....well done, my dear!!
Sigh! you captured the soft dreamy look perfectly!! I love the colors you used and the EF technique idea was brilliant : )
