The first challenge has been set and its to use your favourite stamp or product on a card, this was a hard one as I love so many of their stamps but I realize that my most used set is the "Antique Engravings" clear set. The butterflies are so beautiful and I have used them in various forms on so many of my cards.
Here is the card I have made, sorry for the dark photograph but I had a little trouble with the shine on the butterfly. The background is stamped using a variety of distress inks and The London Background stamp. The central panel is the Meadow Silhouette inked with various Distress inks and stains and stamped onto a piece of music patterned paper, I have then layered it up onto some cream card and then purple card. Lastly I have added my Gold embossed butterfly, the pearls have been coloured with a gold Pilot pen.
As this card has flowers on the image I am also adding it to the Lily Pads "Flower Challenge"
I am on two weeks holiday from school now so looking forward to lots of crafty time.
