Hi and thanks for popping in. The challenge this month was to use a favourite colour scheme. My colour scheme is true black, lemon tart, hawaiian shores, hibiscus burst and orange zest. It was inspired by an amazing pair of sandals I saw in a magazine, but it also reminds me of licorice allsorts - one of my favourite kinds of sweets :)
My card features butterflies cut with the butterfly die and embossed with the cuttlebug swiss dots folders. I used a white gel pen to highlight the dots a bit and they were edged with vintage snow pigment ink.
Notice the hawaiian shores twine? I dyed the vintage cream rustic twine to match the cardstock. The little label was cut using my cricut and the george cartridge:
