A card for a few Challenges..

Hi all, today I have another card for Mother's Day, or just for Mum in general! I just love the colour palette provided by one of my favourites challenges CR84FN, and this is my 3rd card for this challenge!1 And I still have more ideas for these colours!

The sketch is from Quirky Crafts Challenges - I've had this site bookmarked for weeks, and somehow never got round to taking part, until today!

So here are the sketch and colour inspiration:

And here is my take, I have laid the sketch on it's side, and flipped the smaller panel so it's a mirror image of the sketch, if that makes any sense?!



You may recognise this little sweetheart from my previous post, I just had such fun colouring her in, I had another go. She is coloured with Promarkers and cut using my nestabilitis Labels 2.



I have layered her onto some lilac bazzill, and then layered this onto some lilac lace crochet trim, and some butterfly paper from my new paper stack by Wild Rose Studios called butterfly Gardens.


The sentiment is from two different Waltzingmouse sets - Earthangel and Roses in Bloom, and the dotty oval frame is also by WMS and comes from the Fancy Phrases set.

The little bloom is cut using purple felt and my nestabilities Blossoms set, and I attached a lilac button and purple twine to it.

I am also entering the following challenges:

Flutterby Wednesdays

Crafty Catz Challenge

Penny black Challenge

Quirky Crafts Challenge

CR84FN Challenge

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day

This card is gorgeous too; for one or the other reason it makes me think of the fifties. Sort of vintage look and I love it!
