However, I have made a card this morning for two challenges. The colour inspiration is from this week's Play Date Cafe - PDCC90 - eggplant, fuchsia and orange!! Wow! For the layout I'm using a sketch layout from Clean & Simple stamping - FTL147 - the deadline is today! So I've left it late.
While I was at craft class on Monday I was playing with the lovely Flowerfly stamp from Stampendous and I stamped a couple just for fun. One I coloured with shades of orange and peach - and it looked lovely, but I didn't quite know what to do with it. That was until I saw the PDCC90 colours and then it was easy peasy!!!
I started off by cutting a border of Elegant Eggplant, wide enough to allow me to put this lovely lace around it. Next I stamped three flower onto some white card and cut them out with my circle nesties. The mats were also made with my nesties. I added a bit of sparkle to the flowers with my Stardust pen. As I mentioned, the butterfly was already coloured and cut out, I added some sparkle to the wings and made the antennae from purple wire. The sentiment is really simple - Hi - and I'm sending this card to a friend who I've not heard from in a while - just thought I'd make sure she's okay.

Lovely combo of butterfly, flowery medallions and lace! Glad you could join in with this weeks colours at The Play Date Cafe Deb :)
Very lovely! The flowers, butterfly, and lace make for a beautiful card...well done!:-))
Deborah this is amazing. I took a close look at the 4 circles and I love the fact that you combined three circles with one scalopped circle. It makes the sentiment pop and is just lovely. I love the subtle touches of coloring and embossing the circles is adding just a bit more texture. Beautiful!
This is a gorgeous take on the challenge; fabulous!
Hugs! :)
