The Ways to Use it Challenge on Splitcoast was to use chipboard. I have had some chipboard buttons for over a year and finally got to use them today!! This is also for Sunday's Featured Stamper Challenge to honor Gloria (GloriousGreetings). She is such a sweetheart and if you have not been to her gallery, check it out...it's FABULOUS!!! I decided to case Gloria's CC221 OCCC Home is Wherever You Perch card....I used the same Clear Dollar Stamps called Pretty Perches and the same colors but changed the green dp, added the gingham ribbon, and added the chipboard butterfly for the challenge today.
The birdcage image was stamped on a scratch piece of white cs and then cutout and popped up on the cardstock stamped with the sentiment. Clouds were sponged on with Bashful Blue and the branch with leaves from the same set were stamped above the birdcage. The bow was attached with glue dots and raffia was tied in the butterfly chipboard button.

I made this card yesterday for the Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast and for the color challenge on Stamp TV to use the colors on Tina's card...they came from the Cosmo Cricket's Material Girl paper pad. The images from Gina K's Spring Florals set were colored with copics and the flowers were cut out from one of the Material Girl papers. The butterflies with tiny pearls finish it off.
