Today's experiment began with this card...a case of one I saw in a magazine recently. Soooo simple and such great way to use up some scraps! I love how the colors "POP" on the black base. I am thinking about adding some random bling or pearls to a few of the butterflies, but for this experiment, I wanted to keep them plain. After I made this card, I wondered how it would look on other base colors...thus my little experiment was born :)
So, next I tried the same color scheme on a Kiwi Kiss base (the kiwi prints didn't show up very well, so I kept them all pinky). Hmmmm.....wasn't reall thrilled with this one...so I thought I'd try white.
Ooooh...now isn't this a nice spring-y card? It's a totally different feel from the black one, isn't it? Funny how that is...it's the same basic card. But I couldn't stop there. I wondered if Cameo Coral would be better than the Kiwi version.
In the end, I decided I like the black one the best LOL with the white a close second. And wouldn't this make a great boxed set to give as a gift? I mean think about it...all the scraps you could use up? One little tip for this card...I used my Xyron to adhere all the butterflies...gives them a nice even coverage of adhesive and makes it super quick to do. Oh...and if you load up a repositionable cartridge in the X then it also makes it REALLY easy to move the butterflies around if you don't get them straight the first time (tee hee).
