Hi, it's been a wet weekend so far here,
although thankfully we've not had the terrible cyclonic conditions that are happening in the north of Australia. I hope all of those affected by the storms and floods are doing ok and that life gets back to normal as soon as possible for you.
I was inspired by a few challenges to make this card.
At CASology the theme is monochrome.
I painted the butterfly with a twinkling H2O colour called mystique, its a bluey green that washes out to a light green when you add more water.
At Addicted to Stamps & More the theme is to make your mark using pens, pencils, markers, paint etc.
The Hero Club Blog has a nature challenge. I've used my favourite Hero Arts butterfly from the antique engravings stamp set.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge the theme is to add a little texture.
I've embossed the background with a tiny bubbles folder and layered a few of the diecut hellos to add dimension and texture.
Happy Little Stampers has an embossing theme this month.
As well as embossing the background, the butterfly is embossed with clear powder.
Supplies:
Hero Arts Antique engravings butterfly stamp; versafine ink & clear embossing powder; Cuttlebug tiny bubbles embossing folder; Simon Says Stamp hello die; twinkling H20s; bling.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
