Enjoy

Hello Everyone,
Sharing a  card today inspired by  Lulupu Challenge#28- Summer themed CAS card , BGC #49-Grown with love , ATSM#89- CASTime out Challenge #2 and The card Concept-Butterfly theme( According to the style specifications provided here, I guess my card comes under 'Classy and Elegant' category-Shiny and polished look, sparkling embellishments, rich colour scheme, dramatic)

My take on these:

And these are the pictures I got inspired from:
Time out-photo inspiration



The card concept-photo inspirat


Talk about summers and I get drifted back to my childhood days when we used to eagerly await our summer holidays for going to picnics and botanical gardens with family, where chasing butterflies used to be one such  fun activity we kids used to loved getting indulged in ;) I have tried to keep in mind these sweet summer memories while making this card.


The colours on my card- Pink, Blue, Yellow, Orange and white. As you may have guessed already, I have used acetate(OHP sheet) for making the middle transparent panel.
On the inside
For the inside for this card,. I have done masking and inking using distress inks. The inner sentiment(handwritten) is kind of a continuation of the one on the outer side. After sponging the inks, sprayed some water on it and let it dry. Then stamped some leaves randomly using memento dew drop inks-new sprout and bamboo leaves.



The butterfly is stamped using versamark, heat embossed using Lindy's mistletoe silver EP and coloured using memento dew drop inks. The sentiment is stamped and finally added some sequins to balance the design.The butterfly, leaves and the sentiment are all from the same stamp set-Fiskars-Butterfly magic.

Thank you all so much for your love and encouragement always. All the wins and honours make me feel good but the response I get from all of you is what makes it so much meaningful :)  Will be heading off for a mini vacation soon, and that would mean a short break from crafting. Hope to see you all soon.  Until then, happy crafting :)
