Pink Butterfly ...

Beautiful sunshine and blue skies, still cold but there is something about the sun that brings out the smiles!

 My first card today features two new dies - Pippi Butterfly from Memory Box and Stitched Tags from Lil'inker.


I stamped some card stock with gorgeous grunge stamps and picked raspberry distress ink before die-cutting the butterfly.  I also die cut a butterfly in some plain white card and using the negative pieces created a "butterfly shadow" - this was very fiddly but I quite like the effect.  I then die cut two tags - one in grey and one in some card stock coloured with picked raspberry distress ink.  Added a small bow in paper twine and a few splatters of ink on the card base, finally added a sentiment (using pumice stone distress ink) and all was done!

 I'm going to enter the following challenges:

 "Less is More"  This week they are celebrating Four years of challenges, great achievement - congratulations to the founder Chrissie and her brilliant design team.  This week it is a colour challenge - Pink and Grey.

 TIME OUT challenge The current challenge is to CASE this card by Kylie of Addicted to Stamps 


Enjoy!

    Butterfly cards are the very best and this one is full of pinky goodness! I love the slight touch of pink spray behind your tag.
