Framed Greetings

My first card didn't turn out how I wanted at all!!  I sponged Almost Amethyst & Lovely Lilac, but then I went and colored the butterfly Blue and the flowers Pink.  What was I thinking??? I was trying to make my card just like Theresa Momber's card.  I love the colors of hers...So I continued to make it anyway, only working with pink and black.
Paper is Pretty in Pink, Black & Gina K White. I used a few of the new Copics I just got, but I also used my Prismacolor markers. Then I cut it out using the Nesties Lables One, that go perfectly with Gina K's "Framed Greetings".  I added Black satin ribbon and added rhinestone brads.

Well, I started again, and this time I really like how it turned out. I again sponged Almost Amethyst & Lovely Lilac, then stamped with Memento Black. I colored with my Prismacolor markers, then mounted my image on black and just cut in a square as Theresa did. My Taken with Teal isn't exactly the color I wanted, but it was as close as I could get. I mounted them on Gina K Vibrant Violet.  I did not have a satin ribbon, but this ribbon has all of the colors in the card. I used twine to sew on the Gina K purple buttons.

       I could use the first one for my SS#5, using die cuts, but I want to make something that I like much more, and that I think my SS will like.  This one will have to go in my card box.
      I'm on vacation this week, so I hope to get a lot of cards made!!!
