Butterfly Challenge

The current challenge over on the Butterfly Challenge blog is Matching Pairs and/or the colour of Orange Peel, I think I have managed both with this card. The card started of with the background which was made with an Obsession Impression cover a card stamp. I bought this stamp at the Newbury Show earlier this month, I stamped it out and coloured it in with no thoughts as to what I would do with the finished piece. I cut it down to get rid of the unfinished white bits and also to fit onto a 6x6x card base. I mounted onto some gold mirri card and found the ribbon, already tied into a bow (left over from another project that it didn't get used on) so popped that onto the bottom. The next logical step was to add a couple of butterflies, it was only then when looking at it that I realised that I had managed to fit the challenge without even trying. Just off now to join in.

Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Rudolph Days

It's time again for this month's Rudolph Days Challenge, I can't believe how quickly it's come around again. The card that I made for this month's challenge (in fact I made three the same) is using a stamp from Impression Obsession, I stamped it in Basic Grey from Stampin Up. I then lightly coloured it with pencils, went around the outside with Distress Inks and a brush and then added some glitter for a bit of sparkle. The sentiment stamp is from Chocolate Baroque. I mounted the image onto silver mirri card and then onto a navy card base that I had placed ribbon around the middle.
