Anyway, here's my card...
So, first I took a white panel and embossed it with my flourish folder (Darice). Then I cut four one inch square pieces of white card stock and sponged on my four colours (spiced marmalade, mustard seed, broken china, victorian velvet distress inks) creating an ombré effect. Then I adhered them to my embossed panel. Next I die cut my butterfly (Simon Says Stamp) from white cardstock and adhered it to my panel centered in the squares. Lastly, I attached my panel to my card base with foam dots. I really like how this card turned out and I love that delicate butterfly. I was going to put a sentiment but decided it didn't really need one.
Well, I hope you enjoyed your visit today and I hope you have an excellent weekend!
I'm linking up to the following challenges:
Addicted to CAS - code word is Butterfly.
CAS(E) This Sketch - I stayed pretty true to the sketch except for omitting the sentiment.
Waffle Flower Challenge - I was inspired by the colours and tried to mimic those ombré panels.
A really beautiful card. Love your ombre effect squares and of course that lovely butterfly......all look so good on your embossed background. You are right it doesn't need a sentiment...and that way you can make more and use for any occasion...brilliant I say.
