MMM Challenge 9

By
It's the first of the month and we have a new theme over on the Make My Monday challenge blog and this month we are concentrating on all Things With Wings. I am so looking forward to these challenges and the first is Butterflies or Dragonflies.
I chose Butterflies and here is my card
I started off with a cream 5" x 5" card blank and added some Sage Shadow card stock. This was stamped with a script stamp and inked around the edges. I then took a piece of patterned paper and distressed the edges with my scissor blade and again inked them. I used a 'splat' (!) stamp to add some detail and there is also a postmark and number stamped on. The beautiful butterflies were added last to finish it off.

Supplies
Card stock:- Stampin' Up - Very Vanilla & Sage Shadow
Paper:- My Mind's Eye
Inks:- Stampin' Up - Creamy Caramel & Sage Shadow
Stamps:- Stampin' Up - French Foliage & Nature Walk
Butterflies:- K&Company Grand Adhesions - Tim Coffey range.

Please pop over and take a look at all the other inspirational piece produced by my incredibly talented Deezine Team - and why not join in yourself - bye for now - Jacqueline xx.

    this is sort of elegant and distressed at the same time - love it especially the lined page with the splats (bit like I remember my school books!!)

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
