Something a LIttle Bit Different ....


Last Sunday I went to a Happy Stampers Northwest Workshop with Ali Craft.  We had three classes during the day - one with Ali, one with Neet and one with Clare who has some photos of the day on her blog here.

It was a fabulous day and I really enjoyed the projects we made.  I'll be sharing my projects from the classes with Ali and Neet in the near future but today I wanted to show the card I made with Clare - changed the layout a bit.  The main image stamp we used is from Hampton Art and is called 'Butterflies Are Free' and we also used three different butterfly stamps.  The background was done with Distress Inks and we layered and raised the circle which is part of the main image and then the butterflies.  The bodies of the butterflies are highlighted with Glossy Accents.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Fab'n'Funky Challenges - 'no patterned papers'
The Paper Shelter - 'distressing'
Craftymess Challenge Blog - 'aged/distressed'
Card Crafter's Circle - 'vintage'
