I stamped these butterflies for the card in the post below, but felt they were too dark on the Artists' Watercolour paper for all the soft lilacs I picked. So these were put to one side in the hope of using them. They fit perfectly for this week's theme. All 3 words suit my mood when I made this 4 x4 ins piece. I was very inspired by the techniques of sponging inks onto images for vintage colour. Making something so pretty has always been a dream. Create is what I do, though usually a mess. I added Anita's 3D gloss to each butterfly for some dimension & although it isn't too clear, I heat embossed a sprinkling of holographic powder to give a slight shimmer.These stamps can be bought from Crafty Individuals, a direct link to the actual stamps is in the post below. Dymo tape words finish it.
While Im at it, a quick toot for myself... I've had a rough 6 months & deserve a bit of good news. The card below is going to appear in the C.I gallery on there website soon. I am thrilled & honoured to have it there. I can't stress just how much fun I have had with these stamps & the other bits I bought. My slidemailer is almost complete & will be shown just as soon as I can.
