Hi there everyone. It's time for a brand new challenge over at Inkspirational!
We have a beautiful colour challenge this fortnight - we would like you to use purple and gold!
Here is my card -
I embossed my butterflies with gold powder and die cut them out. I used Zig Makers to watercolour them. I have layered them over each other and popped up a couple using foam tape.
I also embossed my sentiment. A last minute decision was to add some Aged Wine Embossing Enamel but I'm not sure it was really the right thing to do but after adding the few sequins, I quite like the effect.
This card is going to my Mum for Mother's Day :)
Supplies Used:

Thanks for popping in and I would love to see you over at the challenge blog.
You know I am doing a happy dance over this card. I love it-just perfection. The different shades of purple work so well and with the gold....on my! I do like that background-is it brushos? And I like the sentiment is that colour. One of my fav cards x
ReplyDeleteSuch a vibrant and eye catching card. Love those beautiful butterflies and love the aged wine enamel powder on the background...I think it sets off your card beautifully x
ReplyDeleteYou already know my response to your gorgeous kaleidoscope of butterflies: swooning! Big swooning! The enamel powder adds a special touch; great decision to add it, along with the sequins (I'm sequin challenged...can never figure out how to place them without having them look like an 'after-thought').

Such regal butterflies. The gold and purple is so beautiful on this card and I love how the butterflies look like they're in flight. Thanks so much Kylie for sharing on the "Feminine Anything Goes" challenge this week at Watercooler Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card, Kylie! I love the gorgeous shades of purple against the heat embossed gold. What an elegant look! The splatter is just the right finishing touch along with the sequins. If butterflies have royalty, these would be princesses. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
