Here are the colors for the current Embellish Magazine challenge:
The additional challenge is to use butterflies. These colors are way out of my comfort zone, but here's my take:
Supplies: Hero Arts F5158 Heart Winged Butterfly, D2129 Vanessa Butterfly, Martha Stewart punch, lime, kraft, black cardstocks, VersaFine Onyx Black ink embossed with clear powder, Hero Arts green pearls, gold wire for antennae, glitter on the heart-winged butterfly.
You did a wonderful job using this unusual color combo, Lin. I love the sentiment, it is perfect with the dramatic black and green butterflies.....love the swirly embossed background too, it does resemble butterfly trails; so creative! Although this is so different from your usual style, you've created a very elegant and memorable card.
