Hi all, I have another card today for Less is More challenge, which this week wants pastels, and the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge.
Edited to add: Everyone has commented on the Opal Dust I used - it's available at The Mulberry Bush online, or if you're local to Thatcham/Newbury, Flutterby Crafts at Henwick Farm. I believe they are the official Uk distributor of Jo Sonjas products.
Here's the sketch:

Here's my take:

I bought a new rubber stamp last week that had three images on one panel - so I treated myself!
This butterfly is one of the images, coloured with Promarkers in pastel colours.

I layere up the image onto some pink and lilac bazzill, and the shimmer and shine you can see is from something called Opal Dust by Jo Sonjas. It's a bit like glamour dust, but in a gluey suspension that dries clear and leaves a glittery glow everywhere, and I mean everywhere lol!
The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Asian Gardens, and the butterfly stamp is by Stamps Happen inc.
Thanks for stopping by

Well this is SO pretty, I haven't heard of Opal Dust... I shall have to have a look for that!
It looks so twinkly even in the photo!
I love the matting of your image, I may have been inclined to put it slightly off centre, but it's just fab!
Thanks for joining us and we'll see you next time!
