Below are the gorgeous colour combination from The Play Date Cafe and the sketch from Cardmaking and Papercraft:
And here is my take:
For my card i have flipped the sketch as a mirror image, the butterflies looked too big on the top!
I have used a cream pearlescent cardbase, some dusky rose bazzill and some blueberry coloured Core'dinations card, embossed with the damask Cuttlebug folder.
The doily pattern is stamped using Waltzingmouse Stamps Dainty Doilies Large set, in Memento Blue Danube and Distress Ink Victorian Velvet. For the larger doily, I have mixed these two colours onto an acrylic block, and blended them together to make the more subtle pinky blue shade. The inner small doily on this piece is a second impression in Victorian Velvet, to keep the tone similar.
Added some butterflies and gems, a WMS sentiment, some dusky rose ribbon and a little jute twine to finish.
i'm really pleased how this card turned out, the colours are very pretty together, and the WMS doilies are my favourite stamps at the moment - every time I stamp a pattern i can't stop looking at it! They make the most wonderful patterns!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline xx
