That's Crafty, CASE this Sketch

Hi all, another post from me this morning! I have two cards to share for a couple of challenges - That's Crafty have a Red and Green theme, and I made a card also for this week's CASE this Sketch.

I used the same Tim Holtz stamp set as I did for my card last week, the butterfly is so beautiful, I just can't stop using it! I embossed the butterfly in two tone gold and green powder, and it shimmers beautifully. I then fussy cut and set aside, while I stamped the background directly onto the card.

My next card is for bot That's Crafty and CASE this Sketch Challenge. Here's the sketch:

Again I have used the beautiful butterfly, this time stamped in Versamark and embossed with White sparkly poder, and it sparkles in the sun!

I then took a piece of Brusho background in red and green, cut to size, and layered it onto some silver mirri card. The sentiment is from Prima.

That's Crafty - Red & Green

Hi all, I'm back again! Today I have a card made for this fortnight's challenge over at That's Crafty, and the theme is red and green. Not my favourite pairing of colours I will admit, and this card has ended  up completely different to how I had planned it!

I have used my new Tim Holtz stamp set Perspective, which features this beautiful large butterfly. I stamped the butterfly in black embossing ink (I find my pot of black embossing powder is very messy, and doesn't give the sharp lines of an image) and embossed in clear powder. I then fussy cut, and coloured with Barn Door and Peeled Paint distress inks. I added some sparkle to the wings using my new Spectrum Noir pens, I'm not really fussed on them, but I will try and use them!

For the background, I stamped the number stamp in Barn Door randomly, then overstamped with the butterfly using Peeled Paint. I distressed around the edges with Black Soot. The sentiment is from the same stamp set - I was going to colour in the first word, but I thought there was enough red and green on here haha! Finally I added some sparkly gems to the body of the butterfly.

I have a few more ideas for this set, and some half finished pieces which I will hopefully finish later.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
