Today sees the start of our August Challenge at Stamping Sensations, the theme is Bees, Birds and Butterflies chosen by Carol, of course you can choose to use the Anything Goes option as long as there is visible stamping on your entry.
There are 2 prizes of beautiful Lavinia Stamps to be won.
I used an Aall & Create stamp to make my card, together with a script stamp and sentiment from other brands. I stamped onto white cardstock and added some subtle colour to the background using inks and a mesh stencil, stamped the butterfly twice more, coloured with watercolours and covered with Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle. Fussy cut and added one over the top of the original stamped image and the other over the script. I added a few tiny gems to finish.
As always there is plenty to inspire you over at the Challenge blog where you will find full details of how to join in and the lovely prizes to be won.
Thanks for visiting
Chris

ReplyDeleteGreat use of your 3 layers of die-cut base & backgrounds for the beveled shape! Stamping, inking, stenciling and color choices have all come together for a beautiful focal! Thanks for creating and sharing with HQFSCAT! -- Becca
ReplyDeleteThe layered butterfly design is absolutely enchanting—such a clever way to add dimension and movement. The soft inked background and script details create a dreamy, vintage feel that complements the delicate sparkle beautifully. I love how the tiny gems add just the right touch of elegance without overpowering the composition.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful creation Chris I don't think you can go wrong with Butterflies these are such a gorgeous colour and shape the background work is aCE
