These colours are such a lovely soft combination to play with.
Here is a close up of the emboss resist technique used on the butterfly and side panel, hopefully it will show the colours a little better.
And the last pic is one of the inside........
This is the same technique l used on last weeks card, but as you can see the results are very different when used with colours, rather than the Crumbcake to achieve an antique look.
I hope you are inspired to have a go at this technique and hopefully you will find time to play along with the challenge.....Here is the link to check out the fantastic samples the rest of the design team came up with..JAI

A very beautiful card Nikki and I am itching to get out my butterfly die and try some new techniques and ideas learnt at Convention...alas the housework must come first!
ReplyDeleteThat card is just divine. I never bought the Presto Patterns but thought Belle Toile would give similar result, you've proved it. Stunning!!!

Oh, this is gorgeous!! I thought at first you HAD used the Presto Patterns paper .... should've known you are cleverer and more resourceful than that, shouldn't I?! Gorgeous sponging; love how you use this technique, and it is soooooooo beautiful in these colours.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same as Christine as I've been itching to do a butterfly with the Presto Pattern Papers but you went to greater lengths for your lovely emboss resist technique. You're really showing off now with the inside of your card - just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Nikki this is just stunning. I've only just realised it wasn't presto paper - what a fabulous effect you've created. Love it.
