Pastel Flowers and a Butterfly!
Inspried by pretty pastels and on a roll with using reinkers and rubbing alcohol, see my last 3 or 4 posts I've probably made this card a LOT busier than I normally do but well there was all these layers in the sketch and then flowers and well I HAD to add bling......LOL
The colours I've used here are Lovely Lilac (retired), Sage Shadow (retired), Marina Mist and a touch of whisper white in the sentiment and ribbon. Then I went to my stash of flowers and just added some to pick up on the colours used.
To finish it off I added some flowers stamped in silver, but I think that was a mistake! oh well, see Andrea......I do make them, I just don't usually post them.
I'm going out with a bang with 5 challenges in this one post as this will be my last post for a little while, I'm moving house so I won't have time to craft, plus I need to have the internet transfered and all that jazz. Mind you though, if the packing is driving me crazy and I haven't gotten to the craft room then I might just have to make another card.....somehow I doubt it though....*sigh*

ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card as usual! I do miss the pastels, especially Lovely Lilac. I wanted that color for Valentine cards this year. Good luck with your move. I'll look forward to seeing your cards again when you are settled into your new place.
