I have two birthday cards today for several challenges. AAA Birthday is celebrating their second birthday with a huge fun blog hop and lots of prizes to be won. Watercooler Wednesday's challenge this week is "all about occasions" and Color Hues want purple and teal as the main colors.
My first card was inspired by a post from Therese where she used metallic watercolors on black. I used my new Hero Arts stamp - Succulent Bouquet - embossed in gold. Added a few crystal sequins for some sparkle. The metallic colors look really pretty IRL.
For my butterfly, I used a piece of alcohol inked yupo in purples and teal. Die cut the butterfly twice so I could do the inlays in more of the shades of teal. I die cut a circle on the right side of a piece of pale teal cs and then embossed with the floral background. Embossed a white metallic piece and matched the two together for the butterfly's background. There's a bit of gold in the AI inked butterfly.
Thanks for visiting today.
Wow, love that AI butterfly on that embossed card base. Very clever with that popped in whote cicle for a highlight. Thanks for joining us at the WWC. Tristan DT.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards as usual Betty. Love them both. So pleased to see your butterfly card in our challenge at Watercooler Wednesday, good luck
ReplyDeleteThese are both just gorgeous, Betty! I tried to find black wc cardstock after seeing that video, but maybe I'll try using regular cardstock with not too much water.
ReplyDeleteThe Metallics are fabulous and the teal and purple looks so fresh.
ReplyDeleteDark and dramatic, awesome card. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty AI butterfly Betty. I just love that background too! Nice job with our colors at Color Hues and I was very tickled to see you used our animated graphic too! Thanks for your support! HUGS!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are both so very beautiful Betty, so glad you were inspired to create with metallic paints, aren't they fun!
ReplyDeleteI love both your cards but those metallic colours on black - wow! Stunning look! Thanks so much for celebrating with us at AAA Birthday!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards and both so different Betty! I love the drama of the metallics on the black but I also love the lighter brighter look you've gone for with the airy looking butterfly card. Vicky x
