...and this week's jacksonbelle tuesday challenge to combine one neutral color (for which i chose white), one color other than black (for which i chose pink) and black (for which i chose black!) :) and here's my card:
(patterned paper: ki, creative imaginations, doodlebug, sandylion, 3 bugs in a rug, basic grey, making memories, prima; lace cardstock: ki; glossy black cardstock: ranger; rub-ons: basic grey, fancy pants; pearls: kaiser; ink: colorbox; text is computer generated in a free font called "quill" with a piece of printshop clipart for the hat)
i apologize for the slightly wonky photo angle, but almost everything on this is shiny, from the shimmery background paper to the sparkly butterflies...even my favorite glossy black cardstock was working against me! but i like how this came out and i hope our jessica will, too!
I don't find these kind of raw materials around the place I live :(
ReplyDeleteWELL, I was GOING to say, "Whoa. That's not a fussy Lauren card." But then I saw the miniscule pearls in the flutterbys and decided to stifle it.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS CARD!
LOVE it...the colors are most fantabulous...and the butterflies....pure perfection!!
ReplyDeleteLauren, this is gorgeous hun! Great use of the skecth and fabulous colours, and those butterflies are wonderful!!!! Jo x
ReplyDeleteHow did you do this so quickly? The sketch is in my blog reader right after your card. Whew! you are fast. The card is fabulous, of course!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I was gonna say the same thing as June!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the card...gorgeous papers and the addition of the butterflies is PERFECTION!
What a great card!!! I love that sketch. I'm going to have to try it out too. Working on some stuff today hopefully. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteSee! White for neutral, pink for other and black for black. You really can follow the rules if you try ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure jessica will LOVE it!! congratulations to her!! loooovin' that fabulous flock of butterflies!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is lovely. I like the colors - there is something about them that is so pretty together. I especially like the idea of the motif of butterflies for a graduation card because to me butterflies represent new beginnings and isn't graduation perfect for that?
ReplyDeletePURDY! and of course Jessica will love it, don't be silly!
ReplyDeletelove those dang butterflies. i HAD to buy the punch because of that first fateful card you sent me. :) it's still my fave!
