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. 

Items Used:

White Card
Crafty Individuals Rubber Stamps Butterflies
Tim Holtz Distress Inks Crushed Olive; Dried Marmalade & Peacock Feathers
Justrite Large Fancy Sentiments
Ranger Archival Ink Black
Water Spritzer 
Foam Tape
Piercing Ruler


Do go over to http://happylittlestampers.blogspot.co.uk/ and take a look at all the beautiful ideas from the Design Team and why not enter yourself, its fun to do and not hard so its all about the taking part. The HLS team area fantastic bunch and I am sure they would love to see your entries.

I must apologize for not blogging so often of late or commenting on your posts, please know I am not ignoring you, I love this crafty friendship but as you know I am now on Sheena Douglass Design Team  and we have quite a lot to do at present, cannot tell you anymore but its going to be fabulous, watch this space as they say lol!

Thank you for looking, Jacquie xxx
