Hi, things have been a bit quiet on the card front here this week as I've been battling a really bad cold. It's still hanging around but I think I'm getting used to it!
I've been asked to make a birthday card for a lady turning 90 who likes mauve and purple.
I thought something lacy would be good so used the Rebecca embossing folder again and distressed it with shaded lilac and milled lavender distress inks.
The butterflies are Hero Arts antique engravings, coloured with Inktense pencils.
I used the Spellbinders floral and oval dies for the sentiment sticker, and Memory Box Parker number die for the 90.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge where the theme is to create something inspired by the letter M. I've used mauve and 90 is a pretty momentous milestone!
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge the theme is die crazy.
At Allsorts Challenge the theme is purple passion.
At A Blog named Hero it's all about embossing, wet or dry.
I've used an embossing folder and embossed my stamped butterflies with clear powder.
At Crafting with Dragonflies the team is celebrating their first anniversary, congratulations! So the theme is celebration.
Thanks for visiting, hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.
