The butterflies are all from HobbyArt set called Butterflies and the sentiment is also from HobbyArt, a set called the Birthday Collection which I use loads and loads! Its so useful.
All the stamping is done with black Versafine and embossed with clear powder. I watercoloured the butterflies with Distress Inks - the colours I used are Peacock Feathers, Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord and Wild Honey. I cut them out then adhered them to some white card which I had pre-stamped with the sentiment and added paint splashes to the background for a bit of interest. Then I did a bit of layering and added a touch of clear Wink Of Stella for delicate sparkle here and there.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
HobbyArt - Wings
Time Out - CASE with your own twist and here is the awesome card by Kim that we had to CASE:
I use black cards loads and I love this one of Kim's so I thought I would go the opposite and use white and change the flowers for butterflies - I really enjoyed this challenge!
Please hop along to both these blogs if you get the chance - there is oodles of cool stuff to see!
Thank you very much for visiting me! Your visits and comments make me so happy! Take care. Christine xxx
