DT card for Crafter's Cafe - challenge #190 - Easy recipe!

The February 15 challenge #190 at The Crafter's Cafe is an easy recipe: 3 papers, 2 butterflies,         1 flower.  You may enter up to 3 times, with a maximum of 10 challenges entered.  My image is from Bugaboo.  In case you are not able to see it - the butterflies are punched from the third paper. and layered with the deep pink cs.  The strips are stickers from Hot off the Press, and I added some shiny jewels.

MHK color inspiration

 

This is for a friend who is having knee replacement tomorrow.  She is also a nurse so I thought this would be appropriate - though she will most likely be home by the time the card arrives!  IRL the colors of the DP are closer to the inspiration than they appear on the screen.  The small strip is a piece of silver sequins on fabric - I have several items like this in my stash and decided to try one!   The little hearts and flower are brads.

Unfortunately, I needed a quick sympathy card to get in the mail today.

This is one of my favorite ODB images!  I colored with chalk pencils to achieve a soft look.  The embossing folder is by Darice.  A bit of chalk sponged on the sentiment adds highlights to the texture. The cs I used is Recollections shimmery silver - I really like the result when it is embossed, and it is great for stamping images such as this one.
