Less is More - Green and Gold

Hi all, I'm here this morning with a couple of cards for this week's new challenge over at Less is More. The theme this week is Green & Gold. I have many butterfly stamps in my collection, but I haven't used these lovely ones from Uniko Studio before,  Bright Butterflies, so I pulled them out and had a play.


I stamped all the butterflies from the set in Versamark, and gold embossed, then cut using the matching dies. I cut a few panels in different green shades using MFT Rectangle dies, stamped the little cog image from the same set in Versamark Dazzle, and mounted onto some gold, glittered card.


I stamped the little swirl in Versamark and gold embossed. I added the sentiment from the English Country Garden set, also from Uniko Studios, and gold embossed.


For my second card, I stamped the little swirl in Gumnball Green ink...but dropped the stamp as I finished ARRRGGHHH!!! You can see there are a few dots showing above the sentiment below, and it doesn't look too bad thankfully!


Here they are together. I always like to make a couple of cards for this challenge, as just one is never enough!



I would also like to enter these into the following challenges:

Less is More - Green & Gold

Lil Red Wagon - CAS

Cards und More - CAS

AAA Cards - Embossing (CAS)

Thanks for stopping by,

Pauline

Fabulous embossing on both of your cards. The golden butterfly looks beautiful and the curly trail is a brilliant detail. Thanks for playing at AAA Cards.

I love the shimmery watermarks from your VersaMark ink and the stitched die cuts over the gold card look great.
