This is for today's color challenge----woohooo--my favorite colors so I couldn't let this one slip on by. It was to use bashful blue, ((old olive)), and more mustard in making a card.
I used this nest image because it was easy to incorporate those colors. This is for my buddy, Deb (beadn&stampn)...she is such a wonderful friend and I am lucky to have her in my life.
Anyway, about the card....I stamped the image and colored it with reinkers....added highlights with copics and did the brown nest with copics. I sponged and distressed the edges..and then i put a layer of utee mixed with glitter on the image and heated it.......fun!
The butterfly and flowers have some nice shimmer irl. The bg is created with layers of the legal colors...I cuttlebugged the mustard layer and then brayered over it in mustard ink.
Thanks for looking!!!

I used the small nest from the same company! I love your card Caro, it's so gorgeous! I love how you covered the whole image layer with UTEE and added some sparkle. Deborah will treasure this beauty!
