A Splash of Colour

Hi everyone,

 

Just a quick card I wanted to share with you. 

 

I have used the current colour challenge at The Play Date Cafe , Black and White with a splash of Mustard – interesting don’t you think?

 

I was inspired by the current challenge at CASE Study Challenges for the layout and the butterflies - you can see the challenge here.

 

I have used Basic Black for the base of my card, added a layer of Whisper White card stock and some of the Speciality DSP Mocha Morning.

 

I created a tag and then created a border on the bottom with the Eyelet Boarder Punch.  My splash of colour is More Mustard and  I have used a dauber to add some ink to the edges of the tag.

 

I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and created some butterflies in Basic Black, More Mustard and Whisper White.  I created three butterflies, layered them together using the three colours and added some ‘bling’ to the top layer.

 

The top of the tag has some ribbon- Basic Black Grosgrain and Whisper White Taffeta.  The sentiment is from the Tagtastic Hostess set.

 

The Tag, sentiment and butterflies were added to the card using dimensionals.

 

Here is my card….

Hi everyone – the middle of the week and I hope it is all going well for you :)

 

Just wanted to share a card with you that I have created.

 

I found the latest colour challenge at City Crafter Challenges which is to use black/grey and white with a hint of pink.

 

Now what girl doesn’t love pink and I love the neutral challenges that have just a hint of colour, so I combined the colours with the Clean and Simple sketch #186.

 

I used the wanted to do something different with the sketch that had circles or something that I could create in a circular shape.  The stamp set that I decided to use was Just Believe, which has been sitting around for a while, so I used the circular flower image and stamped it in Pretty in Pink on Whisper White cardstock.

 

Now I didn’t want to use all circular shapes on the card but I need something smaller but fitting with the flowers. My answer – the  trusty Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die it  just jumped out at me once more.  So I cut out three small butterflies in Basic Black cardstock.

 

The sentiment “Imagine the Possibilities” is from the Word Play stamp set and there is always room for ‘bling’ so I dressed up the butterflies :)

 

All the circle images and butterflies have dimensionals on them just to add a bit of depth.

 

Here is my card:
