It started out, not even with a challenge entry as a basis, but I bought a set of 3 Cheery Lyn butterfly dies. It's a little bit unconventional for me to step outside the Stampin Up! realm, but I love the detail in these dies and Stampin Up! doesn't have a similar alternative. I thought it would look amazing on the multi-coloured viney sheet of DSP from the Sycamore Street collection, and I do believe I was right!
The Firday Mashup challenge this week is to use a time theme and/or use black. I've just gone with the black this time. I didn't really have anything timey up my sleeve. I originally tried another version us ing Summer Starfruit as a main colour, but I didn't really like it much so I had another go. Nothing beats Pool Party and black!
The butterfly sort of fits on the second-smallest of the Beautiful Butterflies die. I've also used the Cloudy Day embossing folder, Sycamore Street DSP, the sentiment is Curly Cute and the ribbon is just a piece of black velvet ribbon.
Thanks for looking,
Bub

You are right, nothing beats Pool Party and Black! That color combo works perfectly. The butterfly looks striking against the black butterfly. Thanks for joining us at the Friday Mashup this week!
