Passion for Markers - Wings and/or Leaves...

 Good morning, crafty buddies! Another Tuesday arrives and it's my turn to host over at Passion for Markers! 

 Today is International Day of Peace, so I have taken inspiration for this week's theme from their logo and would like to see anything with Wings and/OR Leaves on your creations...

We're being sponsored by Sheepski Designs who are offering one lucky winner 3 digi images of their choice from the online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the pretty Butterfly Curl image...I wanted to keep the card quite muted and coloured the majority of the butterflies in grey tones with just a hue of colour and then created the focal point in the large butterfly, colouring in soft, pastel tones -

Blender, Cool Grey 2, Cool Grey 4, Pale Pink, Cocktail Pink, Blush, Soft Peach, Tan

I decided I wanted to create a shaped card front, so flipped the image and sized it to fit a 5x7 inch card front in a dusky rose colour. I cut around the image, leaving a white border and then cut around the card front by hand, aswell. I decoupaged the large butterfly for a touch of dimension and added hints of crystal glitter, finishing with Dew Drops and grey adhesive pearls.

I think my Mojo is waning at the moment, as I really struggled to concentrate on crafting and the first effort got put in the bin?! Life is pretty hectic just now and we're busy trying to sort out moving my eldest son into his first home, then I'm hoping to get my own into some sort of organisation as I feel that the walls are closing in on me with excess 'stuff'...think it's time to be ruthless and have a good purge!

I do hope that you can find the time to play along with my fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations!
