U is for underneath & umber

Have now got a stinking cold, and now sound like I should be doing a Tunes advert, and sneeze! Wowza! Think I may have lost my tonsils a few times.

Did this rather elegant, if I may say so myself, best wishes card for the latest challenge at Mrs A's this afternoon.

Anna Griffin punch

Spellbinders sentiment die

I used cream card embossed with swirls as my cardstock and a left over bit became part of the layered band.
I used the closet brown I could find to umber, it looks more greyer in the photo but it is actually brown. The card actually looks like box of scrummy chocolate colours.

As the main challenge was 'underneath' and the secondary 'use the colour umber' I decided to take both very literal and use the colour underneath, peering through the punched butterflies. There are actually 4 butterlies, but as I was assembling the card I smudged glue in the middle so decided to cover the mess with a matching sentiment topper. (Mess = the teeniest tiniest smudge only I could see), leaving just two butterflies showing. For a touch of elegance I added the double rows of white pearls.

Entering in:  Butterfly challenge = U is for underneath/umber


And now am off to bed to sniff, cough and sneeze my way through the night. I pity Andrew.
