Phoenix Inspirations

Morning all - thanks for stopping by, I have a recessed window card today for my dt piece over on  Make My Monday . The subject this week is BUTTERFLIES AND DRAGONFLIES - together or separately.

Well if you are a regular visitor you will know that I just love all things Stampin' Up - how could I resist? (The only thing is - I don't have Basic Grey so I used an ordinary grey ink pad ssssh - I won't tell if you won't!!) Any how moving on I also surfed around the Split Coast Stampers gallery for a bit of inspiration and I found this . I haven't used Organic Grace for ages so I thought I'd have a go - what do you think? It's not a total copy so I hope she will forgive me, I just fell in love with the simplicity of the stamping and the composition - mind you it wasn't very simple trying to li...
