Good morning folks, hope you're having a good week so far. Its getting nearer and nearer to my holiday, it seems ages since I had any time off work so I'm really looking forward to a lazy week next week. Today's card features a mask from Beautiful Butterflies 1 from SplodgeAway, combined with a butterfly from Butterfly Creator and a Sheena Douglas Stamp.
I stamped the daisy stamp on SplodgeAway Elegance Card and coloured with promarkers, adding a delicate background using the Butterflies 1 mask and a little Peeled paint distress ink. The butterfly was made using more distress inks and the Butterfly Creator mask, I added some little pearls for his body. I had a lovely inky time making the background, using the same mask with distress inks and also with gesso to create a resist.
I've added paper flowers, die cut swirls, lace, yellow gingham ribbon and a gorgeous green dotty button to finish off.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Anything goes: Handmade backgrounds

Created with Love: ribbon and lace
