Butterflies

Hello my crafting friends, I am well excited today as I have been asked to be a Guest Designer for http://happylittlestampers.blogspot.co.uk/ July blog challenge, how great is that?! Those of you who know HLS blog will know the cards have to be CAS (Clean & Simple) and this Months challenge theme is STAMPING.
 

So this was the card I made for their challenge 'Stamping'. I inked up my Butterfly stamp with three distress inks, Crushed Olive; Dried Marmalade & Peacock Feathers, spritzed over the stamp with 1 spray of water then stamped onto my White Card, this gives a lovely water colour effect to the image and would possibly look even better if using water colour paper/card.

I pierced round the edge of the image and just stamped a simple sentiment in the bottom corner, matted it onto some White card with Foam Tape and there you have the finished card.

Quite a simple but effective card don't you think? I hope I have inspired you to have a go?

Those of you who are regular to my blog would have noticed two previous posts using this stamp, I did these all at the same time but chose this one for my Guest Designer spot as it fitted the Challenge theme.
