Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm busy preparing for our Craft Group meeting this week. I'm doing the demo so it's
extra busy. I'll be sharing some of the designs for the demo and my swaps later
this week.
I did take some time out to do a card for the Color Hues Challenge of
Chocolate and Mint.
My first instinct was to go with ice cream but this stamp was laying on the table
and an idea formed.
I stamped this image with Chocolate Chip ink and heat embossed with clear powder.
I should have waited to color with a Distress Marker because the butterfly
smeared. So I set it aside until the next day and stamped another butterfly,
heat embossed and let it sit while I colored the rest of the image by
picking up color swiped on my palette.
This time the butterfly didn't get a chocolatey smear and after he was
colored, I fussy cut him out to pop over the uh-oh.
Challenges:
Color Hues #47 - Chocolate and Mint
We've had some visitors to our lantana blooms.

This is gorgeous, Bonnie, and the 'extra' butterfly gives a little dimension to an already perfect card.

WOW! I have that stamp and never have I seen it done more beautifully than this. I hope I still have it to do it like you did. Beautifully painted and curious how you painted white on the blossom. This is just incredible, Bonnie and worthy of framing!
ReplyDeleteGreat save! Beautiful card using the colour duo.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you saved your boo boo, Bonnie! This is a gorgeous card!

amazing card, love that colour combo and your butterfly looks amazing popped up ♥
ReplyDeleteLove the way you used the colours! And the fussy cut butterfly is a great solution to the smudge!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Chocolate Mint stamped and colored collage image, Bonnie. You are reminding me of Chocolate Mint ice cream that is delicious...but only around at Christmas time by our local ice cream company..Umpqua Ice Cream. Yum! I love how you ended up restamping and fussy cutting your butterfly, which added a nice detail to your stamped image. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Have fun at your class..I am looking forward to more of your beautifully designed cards:-)
ReplyDeleteI love the pretty flowers Bonnie and the pretty mint green and brown inky outlines are so beautiful..a very elegant card, and love the wonderful ornate edge to the frame too. x
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your image ... so perfect down in brown and green, Bonnie! I love that you had a smear, because the popped up butterfly really is striking being popped up. xx
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous stamp and, wowie, you are extremely clever to think of this for the chocolate and mint colors. It's just the most beautiful and calming image. I'm glad you were able to save it with a new butterfly. It can be hard to wait. So lovely, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! And your "Oops" provided some wonderful dimension in the end! Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely vintage-y image this is, Bonnie! Your chocolate and mint coloring suit it so well and I love the extra-dimensional butterfly! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeleteBonnie this is exquisite - love the popped up butterfly - a fabulous save of your uh-oh!! Such a gorgeous image and you have coloured it to perfection - that white flower is stunning

ReplyDeleteWow, this is stunning!!! Love this card, Bonnie, and a super kudos for saving the card - it's beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Loving the colors and the beautiful popped up butterfly.
ReplyDeleteIt is a card that attracts attention and stays in your memory. The colors are perfect, the chocolate and the mint ... I would never use them, but as you can see this is the best possible choice
