The background is embossed with a Crafters Companion folder and the leaves cut with a Spellbinders Sprigs die. The orange butterfly is a printed die cut from Craftwork cards - it was white, but I coloured it with an orange Promarker.
I didn't have enough of the denim blue card to cut the Cuttlebug butterfly for the lower of the two butterflies, so I cut it from white card. None of my blue inks matched the paper, but by blending over a mixture of Broken China DI and Violet Haze Cosmic Shimmer I got a lighter shade of a very similar colour, which probably looks better than having it all the same shade.
I am sharing this with

Love the colours on this card, so right for the butterfly challenge and of course plenty of snippets included too
ReplyDeleteGorgeous combinations of colours Jane, you've excelled yourself and covered the challenges ever so well, brilliant work. Shaz in Oz.x
ReplyDeleteThe orange contrast gives a lovely pop to your card. The paler blue for the underneath of the butterfly works well too. As you say better than being the same exact shade of the background piece. Thank you for fluttering by my challenge where your card will be entered twice. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteGreat card Jane! I love the colour combo as well as the lovely design. I think I may have some denim card hidden away here, the question is where?!
ReplyDeleteNot long now, yay!!
