Hi everyone, it's been a frantic couple of weeks lately.
All I wanted to do was relax and make a few cards but it's been a difficult time.
Anyway, I'm enjoying what I can when I can!
This background is a brushos scrap that has been sitting in my UFOs for a while. It looks a lot less green IRL!
The butterflies are stamped in versafine, clear embossed, fussycut and coloured with Inktense pencils. ( Colouring in is so therapeutic lol!)
I'm linking up to the butterflies challenge at CAS on Friday.
At Simon Says Stamp Monday it's a tag it theme.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday has an anything goes theme.
AAA Cards has a sketch challenge with an optional shaker element. I've just gone with the sketch.
Supplies:
Hero Arts Antique Engravings butterfly stamp; versafine ink & clear ep; MFT traditional and pierced tags stax dies; Inktense pencils; brushos; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
Your brusho background is so pretty. I love all the mixed colors in it. Sweet butterflies are enjoying it too! I hope things settle down for you and you can relax soon. It's hard when life gets in the way of crafting!
