For those of you who are frequent readers, you will know that I do not sponge a lot. However when I saw THIS card by the mega talented Darlene from Darlene's designs, I had to give it a crack. She does a lot of instructional VDO's and this helped greatly.
This is my original version of Darlene's card......
Her colours pop a lot more than mine, but for a first attempt I was not totally disappointed. The "sunset" look and the colours used blended so well.
My cogs then got a clunkin'. The first card was on Whisper White and I know that gloss card, well the ink goes on a lot easier, so this is how take 2 ended up.....
(Sadly the dicky weather we had been having in Sydney did not allow for fab photography!!!!) However, IRL the colours popped a lot more in this example. Some of the butterflies lay flush and some were popped up on one side on a dimensional.
Thanks for popping by today. Things are very slowly settling back down although we are still setting a cracking pace. Thanks Darlene for getting me out of my comfort zone too.

This is a lovely card miss Lynda, I love the centre panel of colour, and the starkness of the butterflies just pops from the card, stunning!
