Beautiful butterflies (by Rachel)

Hello there! Rachel here with you today sharing some cards I made for the October show.
In this first card I used the Butterfly-daisy-collage stamp set  and some distress oxide inks. I created a full A4 page in the inks and then cut off my favourite portion to make the background. I then did some stamping and fussy cut the images on the remainder and then added them to the background. The sentiment came from a different stamp set. 

I went more traditional with the second card stamping the thistle-butterfly image onto white card and then colouring in in pencil. I then die cut the image and added it to a card I had coloured in distress inks.


I hope this has given you some ideas of ways to use these beautiful stamps!

Hugs Rachel x

  9. I love your prettily patterned butterflies over the really lovely pink background, and the second card has those fabulous bright colours with the softly toned flowers, and all bought together with the really beautiful ornate die cut mat. A really elegant card. x
