So the summer seems to have arrived here in the UK, it's been so warm, made a pleasant change after it seems to have rained constantly for the first 5 months.
But now on to the new challenge to welcome in June over at
The Critter Crazy challenge.
Out theme is always anything goes
as long as a critter is the focal point of your make.
I've had the thought recently that I really wanted to go back to some classic stamping. So I decided to try out my old magnolia stamps. This is one of them. I've coloured this cute butterfly with polychromo pencils. Then gone over it it with a Wink of Stella glitter pen, although that is not showing up on the photo's.
I've created the background with lot's of layers of patterned papers, these have been distressed round the edge with distress inks. Then I distressed the edge of the image too. I've decorated the card with a single silk flower and something else vintage, the pretty pearl swirls. Just a stamped sentiment to finish.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges
