Happy 4th July to all you American crafting buddies...Enjoy!! Hope you are enjoying the fireworks and barbies and having a drink to celebrate your independence from us!!
Over the last week I have been following Virginia's posts here. She has been showing us a number of ways to stretch the use of our stamps. Her creativity has been inspiring. In my card today I have used 3 techniques she has showcased this week-partial stamping, masking and multiple stamping of the same stamp. I struggled with the masking and tried a number of times before I finally came up with this:
I made this for a friend who loves butterflies and just needed a bit of cheering up so I hope this does the trick!
I have used Colourq's challenge colours for this week of poppy, peach, navy, brocade blue and white. I have stamped the sentiment in a plum colour but I wanted it to stand out more so I hope colourq will allow this!!
I will also enter this into the 'things with wings' challenge at Fashionista
And again if you are across the pond.......have a fun day xx

How STUNNING!! I love the fact that you used three techniques in this card. The masking is perfect by the way (if you used a sticky note-like Pot It Note, it would have been much easier to do, too!). You really show off the stamps so beautifully! Thanks so much for sharing the Knotting Hill and the Paris proposal with me in my post. Glad that you were inspired and linked this beauty to share over "How I Stretch My Stamps" Challenge!!
