Oh LA-LA!
I've been just waiting and waiting for a challenge calling for an "Ombre" theme and so I was very excited to find this weeks

So this is a totally inspired create as I had this concept in my mind all along:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Ombre" (January 13, 2016)
So this is a totally inspired create as I had this concept in my mind all along:
The first step of this was to lay down the Ombre background onto my cardstock with Three shades of Tim Holtz distress inks - "barn door" "ripe persimmon" and "tattered rose". Next I whipped the rest of this card together by using this pretty butterfly card cut which I believe is directly from the Silhouette Store. I used a heavier card-stock. After I got it all cut and knocked out the bits and pieces I decided that it was rather "flat" looking so I ran it through my Cuttlebug embossing it with a Chevron folder from We R Memory Keepers.
I thought the little blossoms needed something in the middle so placed a little dollar store gem in the middle of each. The final touch is this tiny "special" word stamp from Stampin' Up.
I hope your eyes enjoyed my card today!
What a beautiful Card Barbara,love the colors and how you ran it through the cuttlebug folder.

I love it, this is very cute. The embossing folder did a very pretty job of adding a lot of detail.

Thanks so much for joining us with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
Stunning card, very clever running it through an embossing folder and all those little gems just finish off the butterfly to perfection. Great blending of your colours too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Barb, your butterfly is stunning with the ombre background and I am always a fan of texture :).
