 Still with the shiny stuff on my desk from last week I used 'jewel' coloured foil 

card to die-cut 5 butterflies using the Clearly Besotted: Butterfly Duo die

I've inlaid the mini jewel pieces of topaz, sapphire, ruby, emerald 

and amethyst ... that's my thinking anyway! then die-cut a further butterfly

outline to sit on top for added dimension. The sentiment is also CBS:

Sweet Little Sentiments and I've used Simon Says Stamp stitched circle die

which is also inlaid and the Paper Smooches Dots and Dashes to add some

interest to the sides of the purple panel. To finish a couple of sparkly jewel sequins!

 On a panel of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock I stamped the flowers from

 Stampin' Up's So Very Grateful set and the sentiment from Clearly Besotted's Stylish Flowers set, both in VersaMark ink.  I then heat embossed in Wow! 

Opaque Bright White embossing powder and coloured the image with 

ProMarkers.  The kraft panel was mounted onto purple cardstock 

before being popped up on 3D foam strips.

Back to those Crazy Birds again!  This time I've used shades of amethyst 

and gold.  He sits in a Simon Says stitched diecut frame, 

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up Age Awareness.

Some time ago I saw a card made with a Crealie Patchwork die and I thought I could do something similar without using that specific die. This Penny Black image was paper pieced using some card I had coloured by smooching Distress Ink and Inka Gold paste. This ruby colour looks really rich and intense. After paper piecing the petals I cut the image with an octagon die and then chopped it into pieces, mounting them with dimensional  pads. The sentiment from Lily of the Valley was attached with a length of twine and an eyelet.

We hope you enjoy the luxurious and opulent colour challenge

and please remember to leave a few encouraging words

for your fellow Limettes - we all love comments!
