Making a card on the run seems to be the norm lately so here's a CAS card for a color challenge. I have all the ink pads and cardstock for these exact colors but I was in Walmart this afternoon and noticed the array of paint chips. Using my phone to match the colors, I selected a few of the samples and used them on this card.
The white panel was dry embossed and adhered to a black card base. The punched butterflies were adhered and decorated with white pearls. The inside was lined with a white panel and three small flowers that are part of the punch. I elected not to add a sentiment at this time.
This card was inspired by

I love those funky butterflies...are you saying you punched them from paint chips? Such a creative gal! Thanks for playing along with the Color My Heart Color Dare.

Boy, I can see everyone rushing to Walmart for paint chips...great idea if you don't have the matching cardstock or inks, hey and cheaper. Love the embossed background, CAS and very pretty. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Dare this week. Don't forget to go back to Walmart to get next week's colors...lol.
