Because I coloured a whole square piece coral yesterday for my poinsettia, swiping it with Abandoned Coral DOX, I still had some scraps left. I tried stamping a butterfly on it in blue and embossing it, and liked it so much that I went on make more to use on a set of 5 cards someone asked for. And, since I used Lindy's Starburst and Brusho Acrylic spray and shimmer spray, it turned out to fit the criteria for the MIX312 Living Coral MIXed media challenge. Some of the taupe colour is in my DP, which gets me bonus points ;-).
I used the Stack and Cut Quilt Card tutorial, which gave me my 5 card bases straight off. I used a dark blue Sharpie to edge them.
Frames were cut from a piece of dark blue card. I cut the wildflowers from kraft thinking to use them just like that, but they disappeared into the background so I spritzed them with Brusho acrylic sand and Bronze, and used Lindy's Starburst Mission Bells Brown on some. I tucked them under and over the blue frames and attached them to the card bases, then added the butterflies.
Full view of three out of the set of 5 cards is HERE. I must say, it was a fun tutorial and definitely one I'll use again.
