Here's the jewel like colour inspiration from The Play Date Cafe:
And here's my take:
I have used a white linen card base, distressed with Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks, so it actually looks like kraft card.
Then distressed and layered onto the card base some Core'dinations card in Aquamarine. Then layered a distressed piece of Victoria Gardens DP by Echo Park.
Using a Martha Stewart punch, created 3 panels in the required shades, distressed with inks and sanding and layered together with a cut down vintage postcard featuring a beautiful butterfly, also distressed with inks.
Added some floral ribbon and dewdrop gems, and two layered butterflies cut using a Martha Stewart punch.
Thanks for stopping by today,
