E for Ebony

Good Morning everyone

Time for the Alphabet challenge again, i had the choice to pick for the letter 'E' so went with 


EBONY
Use a Majority of black

I had great fun with this one.



6x6 Black base card.   I used an old core'dinations cardstock pack called gemstones for all the coloured card here they have a lovely shimmery finish which pops against the black - photo really doesn't do it justice!.  

I cut a square slightly smaller than the card front and die cut the leaf die from it 3 times, i then added 3d foam on the back and mounted onto a panel of lime green card and added to the card front.  I stamped the greeting onto yellow card and die cut into a fishtail banner.  I die cut the butterfly from 3 colours of card and added onto a white circle.  I added a white pen doodled border to finish. 




A close up showing the layers of the butterfly. 

Items Used:
Core'dinations gemstones cardstock
Memory box 'cottage leaf' die
Spellbinders butterfly die
Dienamics fishtail banner die
Justrite sentiment stamps

So if you fancy joining in and seeing what everyone comes up with using mainly black please do hop over to alphabetchallengeblog

If you are wondering where the letter D went as i last uploaded C for cows we work in a 2 team rotation so im doing every other letter. 



Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Emma
