I haven't managed any crafting - even though I did have some new stamps waiting on the mat when I returned, so thought I'd share this card which I didn't have time to blog before the holiday.
A Brusho background with some random script stamping and stencilling, a piece of the Tim Holtz Mixed media die cut which was rubbed with Creative Expressions Enchanted Gold wax. My butterfly, also has a vellum layer. The TH sentiment was stamped with Faded Jeans DI and clear embossed and the torn edges rubbed with the EG wax.
I am entering this at:
Country View Crafts - Shabby Chic
Make my Monday - Dry or Heat Embossing (both on my card)
The Craft Barn - Butterflies
Stamping Sensations - Dies and punches
That's it for now, hopefully I will get some crafty time to ink these rubber stamps up now that all the washing and ironing is done. Thanks for visiting,

Lovely card, glad you enjoyed your holiday. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lively holiday though a shame about your glasses! I always say God bless cheap readers LOL, carry 2 pairs & have another at the chalet in case - I deeded that spare pair last year when the using ones broke at the bridge!
ReplyDeleteLove your butterfly post & look forward to seeing more soon.
