Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Sahara Sand, Groovy Guava, and Whisper White.
I have had a Dickens of a time with the gallery today...I have totally lost my first card, and have decided that it can be a Blog Exclusive! LOL!
Anyway, WITHOUT Markie's, or Speedy the Cat's help, I came up with this card.
The Sahara Sand and Whisper White panels were run through the Cuttlebug embossing folder. I rubbed Craft White ink over the raised areas on the Sahara Sand panel.
The scallops and circle were HEAVILY sponged tone on tone with Classic Inks.
I added a ribbon tab and tied it with Gold Cording.
To carry on the gold theme, I added Gold Brads to the centers of the flowers.
Next, I punched out the butterlies and HEAVILY sponged the edges. Then, I outlined them with a Gold Painty Pen! The antenae were made with Gold Cording! (I got the idea of outlining with Gold Pen from my HERO, Nancyruth!)
