Hi! This card was made for today's Teapot Challenge, Speedy's Friends Challenge to use buttons and bows, (Okay, they are brads that LOOK like buttons!), and for today's Color Combo Challenge: Turquoise, Coral and Ruby plus any neutrals and Ric Rac.
Okay, first for the color challenge: Let's start with the dessert! I know that the pinking circle is not ric rac, but it sure looks like it, right? I used Pearlescent paints to color in the stamped image of the butterfly. He was stamped onto the Colored Pencil Paper with Palette Ink's Noir. I used an aqua painter to blend the colors. As you can see, there are variations of the Ruby and Coral in his wings. The bird was stamped in Noir onto Colored Pencil Paper and then cut out and sponged with Palette ink's Reflection Blue. I also SPONGED the designer paper with Reflection Blue to get a mottled look of water. I cut apart the stamp and stamped in the ripples along the edge. (The bird and cattails are from the new set: Believe in You. The butterfly is from Ladybugs and Carnations.)
Now, for the fun!
Butterfield Butterfly and Earnest the Egret are on their way to visit Darla Dragonfly and her daughter Dingle Bell Berry. You see, Darla is trying to show her daughter all the lovely things in life, and frankly, these two creatures want to meet Dingle Bell Berry. Now, there are no worries,and NO BACK DOOR, as both Earnest and Butterfield are strict vegetarians. They only eat Cheese Pizza. So, they are most welcome by all the creatures at Darla's home. Earnest called ahead and had 42,000 Extra Cheese Pizzas delivered to the Teapot Party!
Finshed card size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
