Hi Again!!
Two posts in one day - you can tell I've had a 'play day'!
Well, it all looks so simple when Barbara Grey does it on C&C, I won't tell you how many attempts I took to 'doodle the frame'!!! Reasonably satisfied with this one, so stamped the butterflies in the centre, then sponged with Antique Linen and Vintage Photo before colouring with DIs, when it was dry I added a thin coat of Pale Porcelain H20s for a subtle sheen.
It makes a change for me not to be entering my card at the last minute
I am also entering this card in Dream Valley Challenges - Earth Tones
Off now to see what everyone else came up with.

Before I read your post I was searching the card for doodling; I assumed the frame was part of the stamp. I love the look of a doodled frame and your whole layout is great.
ReplyDeleteI can tell which set of stamps you've been playing with today, Avril, my favourites!!
ReplyDeleteI love them both, had to laugh at the first aid flower!!!
Love the doodled frame, I've tried this and it works really well doesn't it.
Hope you've managed to keep dry today, what a shocker it's been.
