CPS 230 Challenge


The above is the sketch for the CPS challenge this week.   Here is my version of it:

I've been experimenting with pergamano lately.  For this card I used green vellum and the Scandinavian Hearts template from Hot Off the Press.  As you can see, I embossed parts of the butterfly wings, and pierced all around the butterfly and heart shapes.  Though its difficult to tell in this photo, the butterfly heart is made of two pieces that are woven together.

The light green fern paper is from Hot Off the Press. The darker green was a small piece I had - not sure where from.  The sentiment was cut with my Silhouette out of green adhesive-backed cardstock.  To help ensure the right color, I blended colors on the sentiment with glitter gel pens, ink from a green stamp pad, and my dove blending pen.  Light green crystal stickers finish it off.
