I’m excited to be back with Colour Inkspiration and joining in with a Colour Challenge.
This week we have a gorgeous combo of Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Gorgeous Grape and Lovely Lipstick. Isn’t our inspiration image just lovely.
It would be easy to go with a floral card but the first thing I though of was butterflies. I had a browse of my stamp sets and I went with the Beautiful Day set.
I got out a piece of water colour paper and played with the colours. I then stamped the butterfly on top with Memento Ink. The butterfly didn’t come out very well, so I used my basic black marker to colour it in properly. I then painted the butterfly with Frost White shimmer paint which gave a mother of pearl look to it.
I stamped the background with the Buffalo check stamp set. This set is so versatile!
I added a few banners in white velvet and granny apple green textured weave ribbon and stamped the sentiment.
Make sure you go to the bottom of my post to see all the supplies used in the creation of this card. Just click on the image and it will take you to my online store.
Next up is my lovely friend, Liz.
