I have made a card for a few challenges:
The current challenge from the Card Concept is monochromatic purple which is a colour I struggle with so it was a real challenge for me:) I have used 3 shades of purple - milled lavender, dusty concord and seedless preserve and so can play along with Less Is More's colour challenge to use 3 shades of one colour. I have also used the layout from the fabulous Virginia Lu's inspiration card at Time Out. Finally I will link up at A2Z's blog where the theme is How Does Your Garden Grow.
I have used Hero Arts Leaf Cluster stamps and a sentiment from Year Round Sentiments along with Hero Art's butterfly die. I masked and inked the strip before stamping the leaves. The butterfly was die cut from cardstock coloured with distress stains and covered with some Wink of Stella for some glimmer. A few sequins to finish.
I will play along with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge where Anything Goes.
I hope you like it :)
Bye for now, Sarah x
