Wel, the colours are inspired by the CR84FN graphic this week, and incorporates butterflies and bling for my other favourite challenges Less is More ans CAS-ual Fridays.
So here's the inspiration:
And here's my take:
I have used a butterfly stamp set that I bought last year in a sale, for about £3, reduced from £20 would you believe??!!
Ashamed to say I have never got round to using it, until today!
I stamped a variety of butterflies in Dusty Concorde and Rich Cocoa inks onto some kraft card and inked around the edges with Milled Lavender distress ink, then mounted this onto some plum Core'dinations cardstock which I had distressed to reveal the lilac middle.
Then layered this onto a kraft card base and inked the edges with a lilac chalk ink. Added the sentiment in Rich Cocoa, and lots of gems!
Finally stamped a little trail of butterflies inside.I am entering this into the following challenges:
