This week's color challenge at Just us Girls just breathes hot sunshiney summer days with a tall glass of lemonade in hand. Orange yellow and a neutral color. Just perfect for this time of year.
I went with my favorite trend right now-ombre. I created a yellow orange ombre card. Please disregard the ink smudge. I do not know where that came from. I didn't even have a black pad out!! Don't you hate when that happens!!??!
Anyway today's card uses two Memory Box products. The "floating butterfly background" die and the "garden peony blossom" stencil. I cut the butterfly twice, save both the positive and negative pieces.
The negative piece, I put through my big shot with the peony stencil to emboss the design. See this post for a how to. Then I put the whole thing back together with foam tape.
Here is another look in pinks. this time I embossed the butterflies and not the background.
Hope you enjoyed my creations and will join us at Just Us Girls for this week's color challenge!
