Colours are Primrose Petals, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White. I used Silver Glimmer paper for the number 2, and sponged it with ink to give it a soft colur. Then I doodled white gel pen on the Primrose Petals, and die cut the "today". I used the Memory Box "Piestra Tile" die for the lattice, then stamped & punched some vellum butterflies from Papillon Potpourri. Finally, I used Liquid Pearls to make the butterfly's bodies (and hide the adhesive), and antennae.
I am NOT a purple fan, and as this was evolving I thought I was headed for disaster, but I actually quite like it, as did the friend who requested it!
I also had a go at the Freshly Made Sketch for this week. Play along! It doesn't close until Monday.
Bexx, this card is gorgeous! I love the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteHi Bexx! Great card for a two year old! The butterflies are the perfect touch! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteThis is so stinking cute! I really like the vellum butterflies and the way you his their adhesive. The glimmer paper is an excellent touch. And I am always too nervous to do much hand writing/doodling on my cards but I love the way it looks when others do it. Such a nice personal touch !
ReplyDeletePurple is one of my favorite colors, so it's no surprise I like this card! I love how those butterflies look in vellum. I'm definately going to have to CASE this one.
