Afternoon Everyone,
Another glorious day with beautiful clear blue skies. Let's hope that it continues for a while as it definitely lifts the spirits.
We have some fabulous fun starting today over at Creative Expressions where they have announced that they are starting a 30 day Craft challenge.
Today is Day 1 so they are looking for Butterflies.
As I am lucky enough to make samples for Creative Expressions using Woodware stamps, I thought that the first thing I would do was search through my huge stash of cards to see if I had anything that fitted the bill.
This card was made last year while I was at SirStampalot.
We did a class using Mica Powders for a Mica Removal Technique inspired by something that I found on Sue Wilson's blog.
I actually used a stamp designed by Francoise Read for a change. This one is called Vintage Swallowtail. The butterfly image got a little bit lost in the background so I decided to 3D a fussy cut image over the top.
Another card made using the same stamp, only this time I used an embossing folder in the background.
I confess that it is a Tim Holtz one, so I hope that I will be forgiven for that lol.
The diecut sentiments on both cards are available through Creative Expressions.
I hope that you will join us for this fun challenge. It's been nice to have something to focus on as my mojo has been on a bit of a go slow just lately.
Stay safe, and happy crafting.
Hugs Kimx
