Colour Combination Book

I found the idea for this book on The Scalloped Edge. I had been using a little ring with paper swatches on them, but really, it wasn't big enough to give me a good idea of how the colours looked together.
.
So here is my version of a Colour Combination Book using CTMH's 60 CS colours (plus some retired colours).
Book cover: 5" x 9 5/8".
Colour swatches: 3" x 4.5".

60 pieces of CS add up to quite a bit, lol.

In the back, I added a couple of pages for RGB Values and (eventually) Copic Colours.
Enjoy,

Butterfly Wings

Yup, you read right...butterflies, in the winter. I'm preparing for a Craft Show and needed some spring cards, so since I haven't prepared anything wintery to show you, you get to see these ones. These cards were inspired by CTMH sista Tany Dvorak, I loved the colour combo.
.
Card Size: 4.25" x 5.5"

I added Prisma Glitter to the butterfly wings, and used the Cuttlebug's Floral Fantasy EF.

Recipe: CTMH CS-White Daisy, Spring Iris & Lilac Mist, CTMH Ink-Spring Iris & Black, CTMH SS-Butterfly Wings, Organdy Ribbon, Foam Squares, Prisma Glitter, Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy EF.

Card #2

I used CTMH Create A Shade Pearl Paint on the Sweet Leaf CS. I embossed the butterfly in black on vellum, cut it out, and attached it so the wings stand up a bit.
