Hello – thank you for popping by. I really appreciate the time you take to see what I have been creating.
Today is the end of the two week period for the #CI95 Colour Inkspiration Challenge.

This is the amazing inspiration this time around!

For this challenge I decided to use the BUTTERFLY BRILLIANCE COLLECTION. I especially wanted to use the bricks die to create spaces for the three purple colours to pop through.

The butterfly has three layers, all cut with the same die from the BRILLIANT WINGS DIES. The top and bottom layer were cut from vellum and the middle layer from a scrap of Balmy Bay card stock. I stamped the edges of the wings with Versamark before adding and heating some HEAT & STICK POWDER, so that I could adhere GILDED LEAFING EMBELLISHMENT.

I used the bricks to cut six areas, on a Basic Black mat, so that I could adhere strips of Blackberry Bliss, Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather behind the mat layer. This was then attached to a Basic Black card base.

The sentiment is from the YOU ARE AMAZING STAMP SET. The ‘you are’ was covered with a sticky note so that when the ink pad was used those words were left clean. The sticky note was removed and the sentiment stamped onto a scrpa of Balmy Blue card stock. Then it was cut using a STITCHED RECTANGLE DIE.
To assemble the card, I used Mini Glue Dots to hold the GOLD HOOPS EMBELLISHMENT in place before placing the sentiment onto the card front. The sentiment was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I cut a strip from the side of the Stampin’ Dimensionals sheet to place under the centre of the butterfly. And finally, some GILDED GEMS to make sure there was a little bling.
My card is certainly much darker than the original image inspiration but I like it.
Who would you send a card, that says ‘Amazing’, to?
Happy stamping.
