A Floral Explosion

Time for some more inspiration over on the Butterfly challenge.

Here are my cards for you.
1st Card using Butterfly/Grape/Glossy Accents.
I have used a ready made card shape which I drew around on the grape coloured card and trimmed to be a tad smaller to fit onto the front of the card. I die cut the centre out using my Xcut ' Parenthesis ' largest die in the set.  The dig image is by Bugaboo called 'Bug Flower Butterfly Corner'. Coloured using my Graph'it markers. and a silver gel pen. The sentiment (by Crafter's Companion) has been die cut 3 times and then adhered together before being given a liberal coating of Glossy Accents. I placed and centered  the image under the die cut aperture before adhering to the front of the card.  

Entering this card into the following challenges:
Colour Crazy Challenge #43 Anything goes.
Die Cuttin Divas #393 Anything goes.
Through The Craft Room Door # Anything goes.


Second card uses all seven elements of the wheel.
Butterfly/Grape/Gold/Green/Glossy accents/Gems/Glitter.

 The digi  image is again by Bugaboo called 'Bug Flower Butterfly Vase' and coloured using my Graph'it markers. I have used the grape and green on here. The gold is the glitter card and the gems are from my stash and dotted around the image.  Not showing up here in the photo but the trailing leaves and the top leaves by the butterfly have been coated in glossy accents. I have layered up the image onto the glitter card and then onto the base card to give dimension along with the gems.
Challenge is running for its second  week and closes  on Tuesday 6th November 8pm (GMT).
