Runway Inspired Challenge #56 {using Oldies but Goodies!}

Mama Elephant,
RI Challenge,
Studio Calico
Trying my hand at another Runway Inspired Challenge. Here is the inspiration and starting point:
| Love all the colors of her outfit! |
Here is my take on the pic:
I drew inspiration from the colors of her outfit and the background of trees. Not sure why, but as soon as I saw the trees, I totally remembered this PP from the Studio Calico January 2011 kit, Who's Who. And since I haven't been able to kill a kit, or purge a kit, I still had a piece of it in my stash. Voila! and that's why I don't purge (at least that's what I keep telling myself). I also dug out a butterfly from the kit and colored it with copics to better fit the challenge. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant's Hustle set. Love it, truly. I am a recent and growing fan of their stamps. I have loved each of their stamp sets that have been in recent Studio Calico kits, and after attending my first workshop hosted by them, I must say I am even more hooked. This card also fits the bill for Gillian's Oldies but Goodies monthly challenge on the SC board, since I did have to reach way back into my stash to make this card. Cool - 2 birds with 1 stone. Can't go wrong with that. :)
And it's a little unconventional, I think, but I made this card to be a Get Well card for someone who needs it. She just had a hospital procedure and now has to recover, so I just wanted to let her know I was thinking of her. Hopefully this encourages her to keep on keepin' on.


Love the background and how well the butterfly stands out because of the gorgeous copic colouring! Thanks for joining us on the Runway ;-)
What a Lovely card!!! Fabulous take :)
The trees and butterfly look so lovely together! Thanks so much for joining us on the Runway!
