Hi Blogger's,
Staying on track entering my cards in a few more challenges this year, I noticed Less Is More Week 49 challenges us to use Predominantly Purple in a CAS card. I like purple, though I have a problem photographing it......it usually looks more like blue! Over at SCS the CAS challenge is to use die cuts, so I thought I could combine the two.
My card is another using the positive and negative die cuts. Well my first one caused a little ripple ...... so why not :).
I've cut strips of purple card in various widths, then glued them to thin white card. Die cut a butterfly from Spellbinders 'Fanciful Flight' from this colour blocked card. Then embossed it through the Cuttlebug using a Swiss dots embossing folder.
I stamped the sentiment from AnnaBelle Stamps NEW* set 'Love Birds' in SU concord crush, using a stamp-a-ma-jig to help placement.
My colour blocked, die cut panel was added to the card front using foam dots. Purple Stickles gives a little sparkle to the die cut butterfly before adding this to the card front.
That's it today, thanks for stopping by. Till next time...........
* New sets go on sale January 14th.
A Tillymint masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, thanks for visiting my blog just now! This is such a fab card - I love how you've used both positive and negative to create such an impact. The embossing is great too and really complements your butterflies and the white space at the top.
