It's Friday and that means it's time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week, Nikki has suggested a beautiful colour combo for us all to use. The design team have all created gorgeous cards to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment to pop on over and have a look :-)
Here are the colours:
And here is my card:
The butterfly uses the lovely Watercolor Wings set and co-ordinating dies. I quickly stamped off the base butterfly image using Pool Party ink - and then discovered I hadn't quite stamped it all off. However, I like it - it almost looks hand painted don't you think? A happy accident :-)
I added a vellum butterfly - so it has an added layer and height whilst not taking away from the coloured one - and it's topped with some blushing bride enamel dots from the Love Blossoms embellishment kit. Love these - will probably need some more quite soon! The white happy is cut and layered x3 with the top layer receiving the now standard touch of Wink of Stella :-) And it might be easier to see in the next photo that there is some of the Botanical Gardens designer Vellum - one of the free Saleabration products - over the background too. It's so soft and pretty! This is another one in the post already....off to the favourite SIL....yes, she is pretty special in her own right as well as being married to the 'favourite" brother ...one and only LOL! We have a lot of favourites in our family :-)

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Jan.That butterfly is stunning & the balance of colours adds to it. Love the delicate embossing! - Katerina
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that butterfly. I saw it on Pinterest and came to see how it was done. Even after reading your post, I am not sure how to CASE that gorgeousness!!! Can you be a little more specific. I can figure out the rest of the card but really want to do a butterfly that looks like yours. I do have that bundle. Thanks
