In time....

I had this image in my mind as soon as I saw these different color combo and challenge here at Playdatecafe.I have to say I forgot all about it as my daughter was down with fever and wouldnt let me make cards....but suddenly I remembered the day and kept hoping that I am not late....so I checked the entry date and started the journey of my VISION.

Here are the challenge colors.

...and here is what I came up with

I started with taking a white card and distressing it with some distress inks. I then used the kissing technique, I saw a while back from Jennifer Mcguire video. Used a stamp from Inkadinkado. Love the effect it gave to the distressed background. I then embossed the HA butterfly from Antique engraving set( love it) with crystal Black ep. Cut it around the edges and stuck it in a 3D way. Sentiment is again from HA.

These are the closeups of my butterfly. Hope you like this card made in a hurry from the imaginary image in my head...lol.

The second card is also distressed in the same way as the first and then I took my favorite Old letter writting HA stamp and stamped parts of my BG with Broken china and Peeled paint distress inks. I also used the screen shadow HA stamp the same way, stamped in parts. My focal point is cut with white paper, edged with pale blue pigment ink and shaped in a flower. In the center I put a green button and put some stickles on it to give a touch of blue/green glimmer. The birds and the butterfly are again from HA stamp set Antique engravings and the sentiment is HA too.

Here is a closeup of my flower

Hope you like my cards and TFL.Please leave comment, if you like them.
