Bizzy Bec's Anything Goes - Slate Blue, Glossy accents + Memory Box dies.

Hullo one and all, 
'Tis time yet again for another "ANYTHING GOES" challenge over at Bizzy Bec's for the month of March! Join in, please do, you just might win the prize of stamp or a die! here's a wee peek at my card... yes, it is a slate blue butterfly with glossy accents :D

Decided it was time to use dies, much neglected, but loved none the less.
 I do love memory Box and Bec has some of best prices around - check out here! if the one you want isn't on the list Bec will do her best to source it for you!
Here using the MB Vivienne die, with some slate blue designer paper, it was a bit pale so added some more depth of ink colour with assorted shades of Distress ink * Stormy sky, etc.
I took a piece of white card and die cut the Memory box Piestra Tile die,( available still, although not listed in 531  Memory Box items on website, so just check with Bec).
I then inked in Black Onyx Versafine the "sending hugs" sentiment from Lawn Fawn "So Much To Say", and heat embossed in EP. Do love this sentiments stamp set!
 
Coating the butterfly in glossy accents in stages, top first then under layer as didn't want them to stick together.

Adding the Designer paper inked onto back of MB Piestra tile die cut.
  Decided I need a few small hearts so took the Impression Obsession Heart  hearts die.
Cut a few and added below, after coating with glossy accents.


A photo of Australia today... a view taken at dawn from the train on my mobile phone just out of Brisbane... There were three hot air balloons taking off, but because of the sun angle my camera on mobile only caught one.
Well, that's it for today... dont forget to pop over and join in Bec's Anything Goes "March" challenge .. you just might win the prize :D
May the LORD bless you and those you love, wherever you might be. 
Thanks so much for popping over for a peek and a chat.

    This is one of my fav MB butterflies and how lovely it is with the slate blue & cream. It's gorgeous combined with that Piestra tile inlay of the border (that die can be tricky to cut too! Good job with that). It made such a classically beautiful card, and I can bet the Glossy just gleams on the butterfly. ) Enjoyed the wonderful balloon and sunset picture you shared. TFS & Blessings.

    Such a beautiful soft creation. Love your butterfly and die cut panel, both of which I think I have. That colour behind the panel is just perfect. Love it

    Gorgeous card, Shaz. I think I have the two main dies you used. The butter is used a lot, the other one.... maybe once? Oh dear, we are so bad.
