THE SECRET CRAFTER SATURDAY CHALLENGE NO. 24

And, my final card for today is for The Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge No. 24 - "Favourite Colour" - any creation, but must be based on your favourite colour scheme. Well, my favourite colour is "Purple", even my car is purple!!!! I have chosen this gorgeous new stamp from Sugar Nellie, and it is called "Catch a Butterfly", and for once I decided to pull out the old Twinkling H2O's, and give them a bash. Not too sure whether I like the outcome or not.... maybe I just need a little more practice. The image has been cut to size, and layered on a pale lilac, and purple card. All their edges have been trimmed with a corner cutter, and the edges of the image card, brushed with a lilac chalk eye inkpad, just to soften the edges. The main backing paper is from a Floral download from "Making Handmade cards", and the butterfly paper is from a scrap left over from a previous project, but was orignally from a Raspberry Road download called Butterfly Dreams. I also ran two strips of purple card through a Martha Stewart "Doily" punch. I stamped a sentiment from Lili of the Valley, and cut this out with a round nesty, and layered on scraps of lilac/purple card. The card has then been finished off with two strips of lilac ribbon, a left over scrap of ribbon tied into a knot, a couple of paper flowers with gem brads, and three lilac gems in the top corner - all from my "bottomless" craft stash. Many thanks for taking the time to stop by, and hope you have a fabulous day! Happy Crafting X
