Addicted to Stamps and More #50 and Happy Birthday to us!!

A very happy Wednesday to you all,

Today at Addicted to Stamps and More we are celebrating our first Birthday! Yes, a year ago the very talented Kylie started this challenge blog and it has grown from strength to strength. She has worked so hard to make this challenge the success it is today. I feel blessed to part of her Design Team-so a very Happy Birthday to us and a big thank you to all of you for supporting us! And a huge thank you to Kylie for all the hard work she does.

Today at Addicted to Stamps and More we have this fabulous photo to inspire you:


Isn't this just gorgeous and bursting with inspiration. This is what I was inspired to make:


The subtle colours of the sky inspired me to blend various distress inks to make the long panel on my card. And I loved the contrast of this subtle sky with the strong black colour of the biggest butterfly and used die cuts to try to show this. And finally I embossed the pink card stock as a nod to the flowers in the photo. 
Quite a lot going on here for one of my cards but I did love doing the blending and the rest just seemed to come together as I looked at the photo!
Our DT have some great projects to inspire you so go ahead and take a peek here and then get stamping!
And don't forget this week you have chance to win a $10 voucher for Di's Digi Downloads.

Have fun x
