Butterfly Basics - Sending Wishes your Way

Hello!

What can I say? With school on again, I had to carve out time this week for my cardmaking! I hope to be back in the swings of things next week! Today - rather late than never - I am sharing my entry for this week's Global Design Project Challenge #033! This week it is an exciting colour challenge!

At the moment I'm working on my Birthday Cards for the month of May, so this card will be going to someone special celebrating their birthday soon!


My take on the colour challenge!



Love the colour combo, but boy did I struggle!



In the end this card was worth it!

My Product List





Hints & Things

  •  I adhered strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive onto the Night of Navy cardstock (after using my Embossing Buddy) and then added the Gold Embossing Glitter. I pressed the glitter into the adhesive and the used a cloth to wipe away any excess glitter.
  • For my sentiment (on Watercolor Paper) a colour washed the paper with Sahara Sand Ink using an Aqua Painter - also adding some splatter with the Aqua painter.
  • A tip would be to first adhere the rose die cut with Glue Dots to the Vellum and then more Glue dots to add the Vellum to the navy and Gold card. This way you can "hide" the Glue Dots.
I would love some feed back! Let me know what you need to see on my blog!

I will be sharing a similar card as an entry for Kylie Bartucci's International Stampin' Up! Blog Highlight! 

If week-end is around the corner for you? Enjoy!

Take care!
