Brushos and Butterflies.


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.

For your blog

At Simon Says Stamp Monday it's a tag it theme.
