Evening folks.
An extra post this week 'cos I've not gone to my craft class with Di as we are still at home, hubster has a bad back so didn't want to drive over. :(
Anyway I had a little crafty time after my Daughter and Grandson went home after a lovely visit earlier today. I think they took the sunny weather back with them as it is now rather dull and a little chilly. Log burner and a bit of telly later I think!
Anyhow here is the card I made after they left.
I made it with a couple of challenges in mind.
I'd thought about the card I would do for Less is More's challenge this week but wasn't sure about the colours I was going to use until I saw the photo over at Card Concept. I'm not sure which of their categories it fits into, I always struggle to say. Anyway it's CAS and it's a one layer card. I was influenced by the chevrons and the bright pink splashes of colour as well as the black and grey upholstery.
I stamped a butterfly in black then masked and inked some splatters in Picked Raspberry DI through a Tim Holtz stencil. I then wanted to suggest the chevrons so I made a stencil using diecuts and added some Fun Flock and Weathered Wood DI.
OK, I suppose I better go and see what the dog is barking at!

Love your card Jules. The butterfly is beautiful and the colours really appeal to me. Great splatter too!! Hope his back is feeling easier soon. Martin came in limping at lunchtime with heel spur...he's a terrible patient so I shall make myself scarce tomorrow!! xx

Love the grunge look paired with the pretty butterfly! Terrific card. Thanks for joining us at ColourQ!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love the soft chevrons in the BG
ReplyDeleteFabulously Clean & Simple and/or Clean & Graphic (sometimes it's just too close to call). I love how you introduced the chevron aspect into your card - subtle but very effective! Awesome card. Thanks for choosing to share it with us at the Card Concept Challenge :)
ReplyDeleteHm, I'd almost call it Freestyle Collage, just done with all stamping. Whatever, it's wonderful.
