Violet Bithday Butterfly



Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Ashwini has chosen a fun tic tac toe theme.



You can always play along with our anything goes birthday option too.


The design team and our party guest Jen have some wonderful cards to inspire you, so I hope you can play along.

I chose one image , monochrome and stencil.

The stencilled panel was a scrap form my bits box, distress oxides sprayed through a stencil.
The butterfly was diecut from stiff card, stamped with versamark ink and heat embossed with Lindy's midnight violet embossing powder. I used a couple of coats to get a nice even shiny look.

I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where it's anything goes.
Watercooler Wednesday, anything goes.



Supplies:
Tim Holtz ornate stencil; distress oxide sprays; buterfly die; versamark ink; Lindys midnight violet embossing powder; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy
