Butterflies


 Good morning, hope you are enjoying a lovely weekend, it's been pretty quiet here but today we're joining my sisters, brother and brother-in-law for lunch, so looking forward to that- no cooking is always a  winner in my book!

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
