I am really happy how this card turned out this afternoon. My main inspiration comes from Top Tip Tuesdays who had a colour challenge this week - blue, green and brown. I think these colours together are quite masculine but I didn't want to make a masculine card so I set the challenge to myself this afternoon to make a more feminine card using these colours. I have used the sketch from Mojo Monday, made it into a birthday card for Party Time Tuedsay and incorporated something from the garden (butterfly and flowers) for Kaboodle Doodles.
a close up of my butterfly landing on the flower.
although the colours are very solid I think the card is very pretty and the blue floral paper from Lily Bee Design gives it that little bit of femininity!
materials - cream cardstock; Lily Bee Design 'this & that' papers, Paper Inklings 'family' papers; Penny Black 'to you' stamps, Annabelle Stamps 'daisy delight' stamps; Stazon timber brown; Marvy pens - blender 0, dark brown 18, aqua grey 51, peacock green 58, sky blue 75; Spellbinders petitie scalloped circles large, Cuttlebug circle dies; brads; Ranger white opal liquid pearls.
thanks for looking and have a great afternoon.
