Clarity challenge January 2015

January 11 th.

To fulfil my New Years resolution to enter the clarity challenge each month Here is my first card. I wanted to try some folded cards and so I ve been experimenting and really like the size of this card which is smaller than my recent cards which seem to have got larger and larger!

I was given these very pretty papers for Christmas and wanted to use them too. The background of the bird is done on the gelli plate.

    Good use of colour Hilary, the pink card really picks out the colours in the backing papers and your bird and flowers. The 3D butterfly adds the final touch. x
