Hope those of you in Australia are enjoying the long weekend. We had a lovely afternoon at the beach on Australia Day, until a nasty bluebottle decided to wrap itself around my leg. Ouch! It felt as though I'd stuck my entire leg on the barbecue!
Play Date Cafe have a 'splash' challenge this week - ie. black, white with a splash of emerald green:
I have to say, this is one of those annoying cards that actually does look better in real life. The black strip has some embossing on it but it just wouldn't show up on the photo so I took another one with the flash on. (Note to self: I really do need to do a photography course so I can learn how to use my camera properly!) The butterflies are PTI, stamped on to vellum and embossed, then layered one on top of the other. Hmmmm, not sure about this particular colour scheme - feel as though I need a hint of pink somewhere!
Thanks for stopping by,

Claire, I really love this creation. The embossed butterflies are lovely and I love the green flourish across the black and white. When you take your photography class, I will go with you!
ReplyDeleteClaire this is just gorgeous, those butterflies are superb.... love them. I'm looking forward to getting to know my camera better starting a short course next week.
ReplyDeleteFabulous butterflies and the whole card is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card!!!! Sorry to hear about your blue bottle incident! Ouch! I've never had that happen... d'oh!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I love the green leaves and the matching mat layer. Simply super!
ReplyDeleteWould you stop already?! Your card is absolutely stunningly gorgilicious, Claire!! I love everything about it and wouldn't change a thing about it. I'm pinning it next, if I can, and bookmarking it if not. WOW.
ReplyDelete(Sorry about the bluebottle!)
Oh that's a stunner! I love the black and the green together! I have a hard time photographing black too, but I think your photos are great!
ReplyDeleteStunning, Claire, those embossed vellum butterflies are gorgeous, as is the flourish across the whole card! Photo's for me are a challenge too ... these though are clear and sharp and I see the embossing! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteOh I really love the vellum embossed butterflies! I really want to try that technique now, you have shown it off wonderfully. Thanks for playing along at The Play Date Cafe!
