The challenge this fortnight at Fashionable Stamping Challenges is Butterflies or Bugs or even to use both!
For my DT card I used a Lost Coast Designs unmounted stamp, (which was half price in Scrapz online store sale before Christmas) This is the first time I have used this stamp and although she has a modern face - thought it would look good 'vintage' so stamped her in Timber Brown Stazon and stamped again on Acetate for the butterfly, which I then coloured with Alcohol inks Bronze and Pearl. The papers are MME Lost and Found Two, the pattern one overstamped with Crafty Individual Words and the coordinating one was embossed with the CB Script and then distressed. The sentiment is Inkylicious.
There are some fabulous projects from the rest of the DT, so please pop over to FSC and be prepared to be inspired , in more ways than one, as our 'leader' Shirley is going to post a tutorial on a 'concertina butterfly', which looks amazing. Our regular sponsor Marina from Cottage Crafts is offering a fabulous Dragonfly Collage stamp to the winner.
I am entering this card in:
Sugar Creek Hollow - Embossing
Gingersnap Creations - Ribon
Rainbow Lady's - Many Faces of Woman
Lets Ink It Up - Anything Goes
Dream Valley Challenge - Anything Goes
Crafty Cardmakers - No floral embellishments
I had my DD home last week before she starts back at Uni, so didn't manage any crafting last week, so hopefully normal service will resume this week.
That's all for now, and thanks for looking.

Wow! I love the detail you have put into the butterfly...is it part of the stamp image? The colours really fit the mood of the card, not sad, just reflective..and so peaceful
