Butterfly Birthday

Oh what a lovely surprise to see a bright purple and blue colour challenge!  Way to go Play Date Cafe!!!  AND....how about this sketch from Card Patterns Sketches so simple and elegant.




In case you hadn't noticed, purple is one of my favourite colours, this card just flowed together so easily as I was working with colours I just LOVE.  Once again I've hit the alcohol bottle....rubbing alcohol that is and mixed it up with re inkers, not to drink of course, but to play with on glossy cardstock.  

I'm loving the effect as this technique gives you something different with each dab of cotton wool.  I made a deep colour section and a lighter coloured section and used both on this card.  Hope you like it.

    Just so pretty, Kasey - and a real hardship for you to *have* to use those colours, I know! I'm loving in the effects you are getting with the alcohol inks :) Bron
