Flowers, flowers and butterflies

 

Three makes from me today - hope you make it to the bottom of the post!

A fairly CAS DT card firstly for the weekly challenge at Allsorts. As always you can use the anything goes option or stretch yourself a little and go for the optional theme of Perfect Pastels.

I used a very old PTI stamp set and bravely stamped straight onto the base card. I added a few nuvo drops for some extra interest. The finishing touch a little distress watercolour pencil to "ground" the flowers.

Prizes from Oakwood, Highlight Crafts, AALL and Create and Craft Stash, these links take you to their individual websites and you can read more about each on our Patrons’ page here.

My DT card for the mid month reminder at We Love Stamping challenge. I used Penny Black 30-342 love art and 30-155 blooming garden. I deliberately didn't mask the flowers but stamped in different colours to create some depth. The sentiment is from a Papercraft Society box and I thought it was a little different for Easter.

This DT card is for the mid month reminder at Stamping Sensations challenge. I've used AALL and Create Fluttering Friends and Winged fragments and a PB Butterfly stamp on the black card. The sentiment is from an old Phill Martin magazine and I mounted it onto an offcut from the black panel. 

I cut an aperture using CE noble squares and mounted the black embossed card behind it. I then used the AALL & Create stamps to cover the front of the card using black and aqua. I flicked some aqua and white paint onto the card and finished with a white pen and some raindrops.
