Just been playing with my stash and have managed to make a card for 3 challenges - Sketch and Stash; Marg's 'Wings' Challenge over on MSE; and the card swap challenge on Crafty Place, that was to use the colours of green and purple.


I've used a blank white card and layered some mint green card that was put through the cuttlebug with the 'daisy' embossing folder onto it. I have then layered some purple card with basic grey 'sultry' paper for the rectangle; strip and circle and stuck them on as per the sketch. For the butterfly - cut on the craft robo - I have added some gold glitter film to the back on it, to give it a bit of sparkle, and added 3 gems to the scalloped circle. Using such a bold design of paper is totally out of my comfort zone, but am pleased with the result.

  1. A lovely card.. I like the unusual use of putting the same paper in a band across the card.. It is really effective :) Christine x
