Blue and brown

I've based this card on Dawny's sketch 9 on the Papertake challenge blog:


I always love taking part in the challenges on the BG blog (I don't think I've ever missed one), but I was late with last week's, so here it is now. Challenge 23 was a colour combo one and I chose blue and brown from the options given.

The BG papers are Granola, with a brown mat around the blue, taken from Infuse.

Blue and brown is also the colour combo on today's Colour Create challenge 5 (there is also an option to use pearls and/or lace, which I haven't done, but hope to be back later in the week with one that does incorporate this).

Challenge 74 this week on Arty Girlz is 'butterflies', so I've used one of my favourite stamps for the image, using versamark embossed with gold detail - shows up much better irl than on here.



Please don't forget my blog candy - today is the last chance to leave a comment - it's still open until midnight.

  3. This is really beautiful Hazel. The way the gold embossed butterfly echoes the gold outlines on the papers is super. Thanks for joining the Colour Create Challenge.

  6. Lovely card Hazel, great use of the papers and colours. Just love that butterfly image - it's sad that metallics don't show up when photographed isn't it?
    Thanks for joining in at CC.
