When I started to make this card, I had a clear idea of how I wanted it to look. I'd choosen the background, the stamp and colour of embossing powder before even going in the craft room. Sometimes when creating, things don't always sit right and this is one of those makes for me. I actually made this card yesterday, walking away from it to see how I felt about it when I saw it again. It is now growing on me slowly.
The background is two shades of brayered Colorbox Inks. Greens and blues are my favourite colour combo! For the central design, I used a stamp from the Tracy Evans Boutique Designs "Dog Rose and Butterfly TE45" stamp set, initially stamping it in Versafine Clair "Twilgiht" dark blue ink, but then I decided to add Wow! Rich Gold Embossing Powder over the top of the stamping and heat set.
On a small off cut of blue card, I then stamped three butterflies from the same stamp set and repeated the heat embossing process. I fussy cut the butterflies and glued them into position.
Next, I drew some circles with a gold gel pen and added some line detail to them. I then used a dark blue Posca Pen to add three lvertical lines from the top right and the bottom left, to balance the design. They looked too prominent, so I added some line detail using the gold gel pen again. Finally, I added some tiny dots of "Blackberry" Liquid Pearls across the surface.
