Love Just Gives
When I saw the recent clearance sale at ODBD, I knew it was time to use my gift certificate. I bought 3 of the stamps & used 2 of them (Three Butterflies & Let Us Begin) for my card to enter the current Wing It challenge. I love the color combo of pink & green, so decided to submit my first entry in a ColorQ challenge. Hard to tell, but I did use 2 shades of green: Memento Pistachio on the solid swirls & Pear Tart on the dotted ones, plus the enamel dots are very close to Pear Tart. The pink inks are also Memento: Rose Bud & Angel
Pink. I sponged a little Angel Pink on the dry embossed strip for a tone on tone look & to highlight the beautiful roses. Not sure I've ever used my pink rickrack, but think it was meant for this card, don't you? I haven't played in a Muse challenge for awhile & I love Vicki's card. I loosely used her layout, including the lovely tone on tone side strip.

My little butterflies are coated with Wink of Stella & the wonderful quote is stamped in Distress Ink walnut stain. Pretty appropriate, I think, with Mother's Day tomorrow.
I appreciate your visit--always makes my day.
What a beautiful card! Love the embossing and sentiment!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Greta. The embossing and delicate butterflies are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHello Greta,
