I wanted to make a card that linked up with a few challenges and had hoped to be off my butterfly craze, but unfortunately I've still got a few to finish and use!
I sponged over the stamped and embossed Journey stamp with distress inks. The tag looks yellower in real life but I think when I've spritzed the water it's landed more in the centre.
I'm linking up to the Holiday challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More.
At Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge the theme is not so mellow yellow!
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge the theme is anything goes.
Materials used:
Memory Box journey; Hero Arts buterfly stamps; Versafine ink & clear embossing powder; distress inks; inktense pencils; stylized flower embossing folder.
Thanks for visiting :)

Yeah - when it comes to your butterflies unfortunately is not the word that springs to mind.... LOL
I love the craft embossed background - fabulous contrast with the yellow.... Mxx
Beautiful!! I don't think you can ever have enough butterflies on creations myself :o) Thanks so much for joining us this week at ATS&M.
Wow! When you incorporate butterflies as beautifully as you did, there is no need to apologize for being in a "crazed butterfly" mode! I love the simplicity of this tag, yet it is also so elegant and sophisticated. The text background looks stunning against the dimensional butterfly, which looks so realistic! You've also done a masterful job with your coloring techniques. Truly a lovely tag and I hope you keep working with butterflies! Thanks so much for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
Love the tag and it looks great on the embossed background.
