Hello my crafty friends, wishing you all a very Happy Easter Weekend and hope the Easter bunny delivers!
I can't believe yet another fortnight has skipped by and I'm here with our latest challenge over at Less is More. It's a Lucky Dip month as there are 5 Saturdays in the month so to spice things up a little we decided to ask Aileen of Colour & Sparkle, winner of the January challenges if she'd like to provide a CASE card for us! Thankfully she agreed!
Here's our Cue Card for this fortnight's challenge, followed by Aileen's elegant floral beauty then my interpretation!
Aileen's Card
For my card I used my favourite stamp set EVER from Happy Little Stampers 'Butterfly Birthday' along with a die-cut 'Happy' word die from STAMPlorations. I flipped the layout to portrait for this one, stamped and heat-embossed my Butterflies in Sterling Silver embossing powder before colouring with Promarkers.
I'd like to pop this card in a couple of challenges:
I'm also sharing a little DT Inspiration over on the Uniko blog
HERE so here's a sneaky peak of my card, again using Aileen's card as my CASE study with stamps from Uniko.
As always there's loads of fabulous designs from my fellow teamies over on the main blog HERE and we're delighted to welcome back Happy Little Stampers which has kindly agreed to sponsor our challenges through April. Do play along for a chance of a prize, which we'll announce at the start of next month and have a fun and crafty time.
Thanks for calling by today!
Stunning blues with your butterflies Sarah! Lovely. Happy Easter xx
ReplyDeleteSwooning over the incredible blending you achieved on those fabulous butterflies Sarah! The silver embossing really adds that touch of luxury too. Ha ha, I think we were on the same wavelength this week with the layout and choice of images. Great minds, eh? Have a fab Easter weekend xx

ReplyDeleteLove your butterflies Sarah. Your daffs remind me of waterlilies and are pretty too. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful inspirations, Sarah! Your blue butterflies embossed in silver is striking and so beautifully coloured. Great portrait design too. Hope you had an egg-cellent Easter. xx
ReplyDeleteYou and those gorgeous butterflies 'go together like peas and carrots' (insert Forrest Gump voice there if you wish!) I adore how you stamp and mask these perfectly every time and your ProMarker blending is gorgeous within the silver edges. And blue daffs....love!!!! xx
ReplyDeleteWOW ! Those butterflies are stunning ! How do you succeed to blend so gorgeously with Promarkers ? Do you use the blender marker ? I've never have such an amazing result ! I LOVE it ! Such an elegant card with the silver embossing and this layout ! Hope you had a wonderful Easter break. Have a fabulous shorter week ! Hugs x
