As soon as I saw the Play Date Cafe colour challenge and the wonderful DT examples my mind went into overtime.....
The challenge is Black, White and a touch of colour = GREEN.
This afternoon - prior to seeing the challenge- I had picked up some lovely green ribbon from the $2 shop, simply because the colour was great.
So this is what I was inspired to do -
I started by stamping the lace stamp from Kaisercraft in rows on the white card stock. I matted it onto the black with the ribbon across it. Next I stamped and embossed the lace in white and cut it into a circle and matted onto the white scallop. Notice I altered the direction of the lace - for a bit of focal difference ( not really, just didn't take much notice of what way I cut the circle!!!) For my butterfly I stamped one of the butterflies from the Hero Arts Antique Engravings set onto lime green Bazzil and cut out. Next I stamped it again on Acetate and cut out. Layered the two together and added some gems.
This is what it looks like close up... really pleased how it turned out. Have also entered this into
Moxie Fab World - Classy and Elegant and
Paperplay's - anything goes challenge
Off to do some more in this colour scheme- have drawn myself a couple of sketches - something I have just started doing.
Health wise - my cold is finally getting better and I've had two days back at work. Only one more then the weekend again - yeah!!!
Thanks for stopping by -
