Hi, I've spent the day colouring butterflies with Inktense pencils, and even better, I've managed to finish a few cards with them.
I was inspired by the sketch challenge at Just Add Ink.
I thought I'd use a filmstrip die instead of a banner shape and tried to make the middle butterfly look like it was closing it's wings.
I'm also linking to these challenges:
Addicted to Stamps & More where the theme is CAS.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where the theme is anything goes.
I used snippets of black and white to cut the filmstrip and popped the white pieces back in for the butterflies to sit on. Snippets means I can visit the playground again at Pixie's Crafty Workshop.
Supplies:
PTI woodgrain impression plate; very old butterfly stamp; Memory Box bijou film strip die; inktense pencils; sentiment sticker & bling.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
