It's time for another challenge at Pals Paper Arts and this week and we're hosting an Inspiration Challenge (PPA41)! We've posted a colorful inspiration photo that's bursting with options that are sure to get your creative juices flowing! For more inspiring ideas, take a peek at the submissions from the talented PPA Design Team!
Today's card features a gathering of colorful butterflies that were made using my Sizzix Big Shot and the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die. Although this card was made for a friend's upcoming birthday, you could easily change the sentiment and make the card work for any occasion!
"Come play at PPA" with us this week and post your creation via Inlinkz before 12:00 Noon CST on Tuesday, May 11th. I can't wait to see how you're inspired by this fun photo!
