Where does the time go?! I've had two weeks to get this card done and am barely getting it posted by the deadline!! I'm always so appreciative that Embellish gives you two whole weeks to complete a challenge card--and here I am needin' three!! Surely things will settle down around here soon!! I loved these colors when I saw them and was inspired by Charlene's (Embellish DT)card, on which she divided a larger image into smaller squares, giving it somewhat of a mosaic look. I didn't have a lot of larger images to choose from and tried this one from Inkadinkado:
I added a Papertrey Ink butterfly for some dimension and some Ripe Avacado ribbon. Everything is a little smudgy and distressed. The main image is embossed and the Spring Moss Ink was softly applied around it with a sponge. Wish I would have had some tiny purple rinestones for the upper left corner, but mine weren't the right color--thought I had better leave it alone...
Not at all what I had in mind when I started, but...it is what it is!!So many pretty cards that have been contributed this time around!! I've been inspired for sure!!
Thanks for stopping!

ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous!!! Thanks for the nice comment on my blog - won't be long until the long awaited Royalty Issue comes out - I'll be on the lookout for your card! I live about 45 minutes south of Evansville - how far is that from Brazil? (I've never heard of Brazil, IN)
