Pinks and purples

Sorry, another quickie post.  No beers tonight ;) but Strictly is on the telly and I LOVE it!   It would be fab to be able to dance 'properly'!

This first card uses a real oldie from Penny Black.  Coloured with watercolour pencils and gloss/sparkle added to the butterflies.  My Martha Stewart butterfly punch is on it's way out, it's a bit of a faff getting these butterflies cut.


And this one uses one of my oldest and most inked stamps ever .. not sure of the make, possibly from Cornish Heritage Farm.   
My colour theme was defined by this strip of dotty DP that's been knocking round my desk for a while.  Flowers popped up on foam pads.   Sparkle added to the petals and gloss to the flower centre. Gold strip and purple bling to finish.
