AUTHENTIQUE 6x6 "Loyal" Paper Pad

 
As I have said a number of times......I love using papers from paper pads because of the coordinating colors and patterns.  I hadn't used any out of this paper pad and it was laying on my craft table.  The paisley pattern caught my eye right away but I wasn't sure what I would have to go with it.  The off white distressed piece also came from the same paper pad. 
 
I found that the dark turquoise went well with the Stampin' Up! Pacific Point card stock so I used the SU piece as the card base and ran it through the Cuttlebug with the paisley embossing folder.  After assembling the pieces on the card base it needed something for the focal point and I found this butterfly in my supplies. The butterfly picked up the lighter color of turquoise from the dp and was one of those things that I had purchased at Archivers when our Yahoo group of ladies met.
 
I always appreciate and welcome your comments!  Thanks for stopping by!
