The plum and navy set the tone for me to make a sympathy card. I usually don't have enough of those around when I need them.
The photo doesn't do it justice because the dragonfly is embossed silver and it is a brushed silver edge around the purple background. It is super shiny IRL.

ReplyDeleteFabulous, I love it. The script paper is a perfect match and the dragonflies in silver against the dark colours really is striking. Check out my blog, I have nominated you for the Liebster award! Great to see you with us again this week at Inkspirational.

Wow Donna! That is gorgeous! I am in love with that dragonfly image! That silver embossing was a perfect touch. Thanks so much for joining us again at Inkspirational!
ReplyDeleteYou're right a) this color scheme is perfect for sympathy cards b) unfortunately we need to have some of those cards too. Your take on the color and sympathy theme is great!
ReplyDeleteHi Donna. I just wanted to respond to your question about the cardstock in my printer. I have to drop back to 100lb to get it through my printer. I wish I could get the 110lb to go through, but it won't.
ReplyDeleteLovely card! A good photo ain't always easy, and metallic (and glitter) is even worse than anything else... Great job, I'm sure it's even more amazing in RL!!! Thank you for joining Inkspirational this week :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful card and a great way to use our colours Donna. Sad we have to create these types of cards I agree. I love the dragonfly and the script. Lovely. Thanks for sharing with us at Inkspirational, hope to see you back soon. Meighan
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! I just wanted to say thank you for the honest comments about my rainbow card. It really helps to get honest feedback. I knew this one was off, but your assessment confirmed by doubts. I have to learn to listen to myself! Thank you sweet friend!
