Decided to choose a challenge to play along with… And #colorthrowdown took my fancy this week…

… what pretty colours… And as I did some gelli plate printing I remembered it and ended up with a perfect background for the challenge by brayering off in between prints.

I cut up the background to make two panels.

The larger square I decided to use for the challenge… I must admit that the red is slightly more pink looking on the photo but still I am happy with it.

I white heat embossed the Swallowtail which was the perfect size for the panel.

I mounted it onto the white cardstock and then onto the light grey cardblank.

The second card I heat embossed the art deco image with black ink and clear embossing powder and then added white paint pen accents.

I mounted it onto a white linen card blank to finish off.

Really happy with both cards.

Happy crafting!
