More Butterflies!

There are quite a few challenges at the moment that are inspiring me to craft. I doubt I will get time to play along with them all. Today is a card I made that was inspired by combining 3 challenges.

I have again used my new Birthday Butterfly stamp from Happy Little Stampers. This time I embossed it on vellum-inspired by the 'Vellum' challenge at Just Us Girls. I then stamped it onto cork and fussy cut it out. I decided to do this after seeing the inspiration photo at Just Add Ink (see below)-I liked the earthy colours and textures in the photo. The lay out is from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch-I had forgotten I had this sweet embossing line. I will be using it more often as I think it is great for CAS designs.

Enjoy your day x

     

TIME OUT Challenges #18

Are you ready to take some TIME OUT with me and do some crafting? I hope so because at TIME OUT Challenges we have a fabulous Christmas themed photo for you. Hopefully it will inspire you to get some of those Holiday cards made...or perhaps it will inspire a different kind of card. All are welcome at TIME OUT Challenges

Here it is:

And my take with a stamp you have seen a few times before but with a few little twists:

I really like the natural colours in this photo and my eye was drawn to the wreath hanging on the ladder. I wanted to use this wreath stamp but wasn't sure it would look right in a natural colour but I went ahead and stamped it with SU crumb cake ink on kraft card and loved how it looked. For the rest I have used red and white pens...very complicated!!
