I made this card to send to Gail for the April Card Chain Challenge. I used the Colour Option (Silver, Evergreen & Lilac) and the Theme Option (Friendship).
To make this card I used:
7" x 5" white matt card blank
Creative Expressions 'Be Kind' and Woodware 'Going to Seed' stamps
Tattered Lace 'Mini Butterfly' die
Versafine Olympia Green ink
Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail embossing powder
Green and Lilac Promarkers
Wink of Stella
Snippets of white matt card and silver mirri card
I placed the white card into my MISTI and stamped the outline and sentiment a few times to get a good depth of colour before embossing them with clear embossing powder. The panel was trimmed, layered onto silver mirri card and attached to the centre of the card blank. I used green and lilac Promarkers to colour the flower and circles and then highlighted them with plenty of Wink of Stella. To finish I die cut three tiny butterflies from silver mirri and attached them to the front of the card.
I am entering the following challenges:
Allsorts - Anything Goes
Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
As You Like It Challenge - Soft or Bold Colours (I do prefer to make cards with bold colours, especially CAS cards as I think bold colours give more impact)
Krafty Chicks Challenge - Stamps
