It is time for another CAS Colours & Sketches challenge. Check out the latest challenge:
And here is my take:
I had another idea in my head for this sketch, but it was not working out. Then I drew inspiration from my DT. A couple weeks back a few members used tone on tone layers and embossing to implement that sketch. I decided that would be perfect for this card (I didn’t want to start completely over).
I used a card that was already cut, but it is a bit smaller than normal 5.5 x 4 – not sure why it was cut that way, but I went with it!
To make the curve, I used an old Spellbinders Labels 10 die turned sideways. I had to do a partial die cut so I only cut the one edge – but that is easily done by positioning everything on the edge of the machine cutting plates.
I hope you join us at CAS Colours & Sketches!
Thanks for stopping by!
A Little About the Challenge: This weekly challenge is posted on Thursday, and alternates between color and sketch (if there is a 5th week in the month you get the double dose of color & sketch).
Ink: Berry Sorbet, Scarlet Jewel (PTI); Primrose Petals, Pacific Point (Stampin’Up);
Paper: White, Scarlet Jewel (PTI); Soft Sky (SU);
Other: Beautiful Butterflies, Beautiful Butterflies Layers dies (PTI); Labels 10 die (Spellbinders);
Love the texture and the contrast of the butterfly colour. Fabulous!
So pretty, LOVE the colour combo and the embossed detail is stunning and compliments the butterfly wonderfully. Fun sketch and I hope my curve was curvy enough for you! Hugs Bev x
It was a tricky challenge to start with but once embracing it, it is likely to be one I use a few more times, so thanks for that. I love the dry embossing – it makes so much sense to have the butterfly hovering over all the flowers. Fun card. Liz x
The tone-on-tone embossing is terrific here! The butterfly really pops against it.
