UK ATC April Colour - Red

How I love this colour!!!!

I am going to try really hard with this swap to produce the sortof card I imagine  ......

Background, focus, embellishment ......

After I had cut a bookpage to size, I tinted it with a red Spritz spray and left it to dry.   Sorting through my diecuts, I found a miscut Eiffel Tower which would just fit over the page, and a bright red frame diecut covered the miscut part of the tower.  All I needed was the embellishment ...  where was I going in April - destination!! I found the perfect word tag, which I cut to shape and popped onto dimensionals.


Background, focus, embellishment ......

Using a bright red card as background, I added another piece of bookpage, spritzed it with red and left it to dry.  I found this butterfly in my stash, two actually, so I adhered the first one to the card.  I adhered the centre (body) of the second butterfly into place and placed a shot of Collall glue under each wing to raise it above the first butterfly.


Background, focus, embellishment ......

A white card this time with the same background drying on the side of the desk.  A diecut bodyform begging to be dressed so, using some gorgeous red and gold spotted fancy paper, I cut out the shape and then tore some strips to stick over the skirt (forming pleats).  I then used a diamante strip and some red & gold ribbon to embellish the side.  I added the red washer at bottom left to try to balance the design and then placed the tiny centre spot at the top right.
