Hi there! It's time for FTTC #109 This week Silke is our host and Silke is challenging us to use butterflies on our card or projects. Make sure you stop by the Flourishes blog to get all the details.
I made a journal for the challenge today.
I stamped and colored this gorgeous rose on Flourishes Classic White cardstock. I colored the image using Copics. I used distress ink over the image after it dried.
Stamps: A Year In Flowers 2
Other: Copics, Flourishes Classic White cardstock , Ribbon.
Check out the butterfly creations from the blog team.
Amanda Havon as the Guest Designer
Thanks for stopping by!
