Hi Bloggers.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I popped the Decorative Mask onto a piece of Coconut White Card and spritzed with Grape Crush Cosmic Shimmer Vintage Ink Spray Mist.
I stamped the Mosaic Butterfly twice using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I coloured both of them in using a little Grape Crush Mist and a little water. I cut one out using Spellbinders Captivating Squares and inked through the die with Dusty Concord Distress Ink. I cut the other one out using scissors, shaped it and popped it on top of the other one. Unfortunately, it shifted slightly while the glue was drying - very annoying!
I tied a bow using 2 lengths of Black Silky Crush Ribbon and added a Frosted Violet Dazzler.
I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm Black Pearls in the corners and some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Black Pearl around the edges.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.
Hello Julia, I love this card, I think more than the other mosaic butterfly one, because the colours are my favourites. It really looks sumptuous and regal with the black and purple. Bx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card today Julia and I love the colours. I think I will have to invest in the butterfly!

Hi Julia, Beautiful card and the butterfly looks better cut out and raised up, love the colours and background. love Jean Z xxx
ReplyDeleteOnly because of the colours (my favourites) I think I prefer this card Must have a go at spritzing through masks more I can't see that butterfly has slipped a bit If anything it gives it a lovely shadow PS I bought some beads yesterday Cheaper than buying a bag of marbles So I'm going to try your background technique this pm after work
ReplyDeleteLovely Julia, the colours are stunning.
ReplyDeleteHugs Michelle xxxx

Stunning card Julia, love the background and colours are gorgeous
ReplyDeleteDramatic colours and fabulous butterfly Julia. I wouldn't have noticed the 'slip' had you not pointed it out,and it just looks like a drop shadow xx
ReplyDeleteHi Julia. You are using another of my favourite colours today. I love this butterfly, it looks beautiful. I didn't notice that it had slipped either, just looks like a shadow, and then only when you look closely : ) Take care.
ReplyDeleteAmazing colours on todays card which I love along with the butterfly stamp.If you hadn't said anything about the slip wouldn't have noticed and it obviously doesn't spoil the card.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,

Beautiful card love the way you give us ideas for background. I wondered why you stamped two butterflies, thought I had read it wrong, then further reading realised why. Helen VofG
