I am also taking part in the STAMPlorations 4th Birthday celebrations - they are such an awesome company selling amazing stamps, dies and stencils. Here are the details of their wonderful celebrations.
I have to add a link to my wishlist here on my blog to join in the celebrations, so here is My STAMPlorations Wishlist, If you create an account and then a wishlist, link it up on STAMPlorations Blog - you could win lots of prizes! Time is running out though, I have left it late but you still have time! Hop Over and read all about it! Shery who owns the company is so generous and the blog is just fantastic! The Design Team is inspirational!
Here is my card:
I masked off the edges of my card blank, went over with my anti-static pouch and stamped the background image with the gorgeous Inkydoodles leaf background stamp using Versamark then embossed with white detail powder.. I then blended colour onto the embossed area using Distress Oxide inks, spritzed with Abominable Snowman Glimmer Mist then dabbed with a paper towel and removed the masking tape. To finish I simply added a Sizzix embosslits butterfly and the fabulous Stamplorations Smile die cut, both cut using snippets of black card. I just added a little pearl to the butterfly and it was done!

Beautiful card and colouring
Hi Chris!
You mentioned the 'frames' die that I used on my Butterfly Challenge card on Friday. It's a lovely die but, to me now that I'm using it , the only draw back is that it's a single plate die which die cuts about six frames one inside another with different edges. I'm finding that the frames are a bit fragile to hang onto so some just get wasted if you're like me. Of course, duh, having thought about it just now - I could at least only use a piece of card slightly bigger than the frame I'm planning to use - thereby only wasting a couple or so die cuts :) Sometimes I really am so dippy! Hope all is well with you and your hubby.
Love, Di xx
A beautiful make Chris - the colours are lovely and that butterfly looks fabulous! Thanks for joining the Things with Wings challenge at Countryview challenges and Good Luck! Hugs rachel x
