Butterfly Birthday

Morning and I have a card made which I followed a sketch challenge and using some new papers BUT I'm not totally happy with the result, I backed the papers on black thinking the colours would pop but I think it's had the opposite effect and dulled them down-I should have stuck with white!!! The paper is from a box full of papers from Crafters Companion which were a bargain on a FB decluttering page. The frame dies are from Crafters Companion too had those a while, the stamped sentiment is a Stampin Up one.



PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

The vintage style papers are beautiful against the black Carol

I think the black works. Perhaps you should make another with white to see the difference. Either way, it is good to be using those papers. They have a lovely vintage feel xx
