MHK November/December Challenge

Dear Friends!

Have come up with a card for MHKDesigns' challenge,which is our last challenge for the year 2016.

Challenge inspiration :

My take on this:

• On a wet watercolor paper, sprinkled brusho powders in dark brown and emerald green and drying up at intervals to set the color.
• Then colored, fussy cut the butterflies from Butterfly wisdom digiset and mounted on the focal panel.
• The sentiment from Tulip of Thanks digiset, is printed on the focal panel itself.
• Few peach pearls are added as accents.
• Then this panel is matted on the Country farm digi paper and then matted on a dark brown card base.

Hope you like it!

Autumnal Colors for this Challenge:

My take using these colors :)

Fall colors are so apt for the forthcoming season. I have taken mustard color cardbase and dryembossed that with florishes Embossing folder. Then distressed it with Aged Mahogany Distress ink. Then took a piece of kraft cardstock, dry embossed with woodgrain embossing folder, diecut it with frame folder. And used the negative to distress with Vintage photo Distress ink and framed the sentiment behind it.

Few leaves diecuts from Beautiful brocade papers, distressed it with Aged mahogany distress ink,arranged around the sentiment.

Light grey ribbon added and few peach pearls as the finishing touch.

Hope you like my take on the inspiration.
