No it's a last minute birthday card. I used to like to plan ahead and get cards made in good time. Perhaps I'll manage that again with a bit of organisation.
First stop for inspiration was the Butterfly challenge where Mrs A challenges us to Spin the Butterfly Wheel.
Your 6 elements are Key Lime /Kobe/Kobi/Kraft/Knots+your Butterfly.
N.b Kobe = Dark Burgundy
Kobi = Pink Lavender
Mrs A says she hasn't made these colours up but I'm not so sure. LOL. My husband, who doesn't really think teal is a colour, would certainly think so. He also thinks pink is pink.
You can choose any or all of these elements. In the end I only used the colours though I tried to get the others on. Maybe I'll have another go.
Anyway, they are a lovely colour combination and here is my card:
I embossed the butterfly in bronze and the used inks to colour. I like the pooling effect you get with an embossed image.
I added two strips of paper to edge and then the sentiment. It turned out almost as I envisaged.
I did raise the butterfly up slightly with scraps of card on the back to give a little dimension but not too much.
Thanks to Mrs A for running the challenge.
I'm also popping into Pixie's Snippets Playground as I've used a few snippets.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x
Don’t those colours look fab together. Honest they are real colours. Card has turned out fab. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Alison - super use of snippets and I do love the colours you chose to use. And I really like the narrow strips down the sides ....... and thank goodness you didn't say where the sentiment came from as I'd have gone off in search of it!
