Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Not Quite Navy, Pretty Ink Pink and Really Rust. Now, I have to admit, these are some of my favorite colors...I've just never MIXED used all three on the same card before.
Sunday afternoon I was in the emergency room, again...This time my foot/ankle/calf had swollen to a point where they were the size of my thigh! And...the diagnosis? Gout! OMGosh! I wanted to slap the nurse for snickering...She asked ever so snarky, "Did you eat ham? Shellfish?" No...well, does pork loin count? LOL
I found this AWESOME piece of designer paper in Really Rust and decided to work the card around it!
The butterfly is a Shapeabilities die. I cut and embossed it. Next, I rubbed Versa Color Neptune(a match for Not Quite Navy!) over the embossing. Then, I embossed it in Clear. Next, I used a T-Shirt painting brush to color in the butterfly with Versa Color Paprika(a match for Really Rust. I embossed that with clear.
The sentiment and ferns were stamped in Neptune and embossed in clear. I added in the flowers and leaves in Paprika and Cinnamon.
