Opus Gluei # 49 Sparkle

I hate how my camera has a mind of its own and doesn't see the colours I do.... have been wandering the house searching for good light because my usual spot "Doesn't do yellow".  Now there ladies (I'm addressing this to the Poobahs), that's one VERY GOOD REASON why monochrome is me!  Its so easy to photograph! 

Okay, whinge over.....

So the card.... well it looks better in real life, bit like its maker, and it has a huge list of ingredients.  There's some Francheville Tangerine Flowers DP, assorted bits of custard coloured card bits, and the SU sentiment from their Inspired by nature set.  I matched the iridescent embossing of the flowers by stamping the sentiment in the background as well as in copper on the centre strip.  The butterfly escaped from my March kit from Taylored Expressions, and the gold gauze ribbon was hanging about looking for a home and so was the foil.

I wanted to avoid anything remotely black and white, but I think this would look more "passionate" if the tangerine leapt off a black page.  Next time.

  2. This card is beautiful. I love all the different shades in here. Out cameras must be related, mine different colors in the same session. LOL. I am taking an online class in May which promises to teach me to take better photos with the camera I already have. (It's a little point and shoot camera. I don't want to spend a lot of money for the big fancy camera that I won't use to it's potential. Let me know if you want the info...) Thanks for playing with us at Opus Gluei.
