Honouring Ombre

 

 Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World is to use this inspiring photo.  The challenge is called " Honoring Ombre".

Anyone who knows me well, knows I love working with Purples of every shade and just love Butterflies.  So how could I not join in.

Tuesday Trigger

I started by smooshing three colours of distress ink onto my craft mat and spritzing with water and dragging the card stock through it.  I then spritzed it with some gold Perfect Pearls. Once it dried, I trimmed and layered onto the purple card and added the sentiment from Couture Creations and a die cut butterfly from Memory Box.

Also entering into the Anything Goes  challenge at Red Carpet Studio

Got up this morning in time to watch the America's Cup races.  Team NZ 2, Oracle 0.  Great start and after a good win for the AB's last night against Argentina.

Hope you weekend is going well

What a great card - love the effect you got on your background, and how you let it sing by keeping the sentiment and butterfly 'simple'.

Hello Dawn
Your Bg is fabulous, you have a one off effect, that has texture and movement and if you tried to re-create it again it would not happen, that is the magic of this media and technique. I am pleased you did not cover it up and just used words.... A great card.
