CATCH THE BUG : A NEW CHALLENGE!

Today's challenge at Bugaboo's Catch the Bug blog has started and it's one of my favorites:

ANYTHING GOES


Here's my DT inspiration card for you:


I made this card for a lady who is turning 50 'n fabulous, and the colour palette was determined by the theme and colours of her party invitation.  The Bugaboo image featured on my card is called Heels - Polka Dot
and I coloured it with Copics, gold Stickles and gold gems:


I also used the following on my card:

white CS card base
black CS background
gold CS diecut doiley with gold ribbon roses

gold diecut heart with sewn on gold sequins and '50' peel offs
peel off's spelling her nickname
a string of sequins
Gold sticky tape, gold edged ribbon and bow
sewn on sequins
sewn on butterfly sequins
gold gems


the sentiment was found online

  9. This is an amazing card! So beautiful and elegant. I love the black, white and gold combo. All the details you added give it that extra special touch.
    How is Durban these days? I grew up in Durban and love it. Then moved to Midrand for a few years and then here to Texas. Miss those beautiful beaches so much!
