Hi everyone, I'm back with another card for my guest spot at JUGS - Just Us Girls and this time it's a colour challenge.
The design team have some great ideas to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.
I needed a card in a hurry!
When that happens I tend to rely on any bits and pieces I have lying around, (stamped and fussycut butterflies in this case), and a design I've used before. Boring I know lol!
I coloured the butterflies with Inktense pencils and a water brush. I was die cutting the circle from some cardstock sprayed with oxides and didn't like it. Turned it over to the back and smooshed it into some vintage photo spray stain and thought it looked like distressed chipboard! It's layered up for some dimension.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
I've used bling on the butterflies bodies. For such a small thing it makes a huge difference to the look!
Dies: Memory Box sketchy rings; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die.
Stamps (both retired I think): Memory Box cocoa bean butterfly; Annabelle Stamps fanciful flowers
sentiment.
Other: Inktense pencils; vintage photo distress spray stain; versafine nocturne ink & clear ep; bling from stash.
Thanks for visiting,
