Dandelions and Butterflies

Two of my favourite types of stamps - Dandelions and butterflies, - so an ideal opportunity to use both.  I learnt a technique at a Lovin' Ink class last year, about using Distress Pads direct to a clear block, sprites with water and then apply to watercolour paper, it was fun, easy and very effective.  I then stamped a Dandelion Stamp and Butterfly - and voila card complete!  I will certainly be doing more of this type of card.

I might layer the butterfly to make it pop more.....!

Hexagons!


Oooh what fun I have had trying to upload some pictures, for some reason blogspot would not allow me to browse my files to upload on Tuesday.....  but today its all up and running.

This is not an original idea, I saw it on YouTube, but can't remember the name of the site, so apologies.... I firstly ran cardstock through the cuttlebug with my hexagon dies, and then again with some scraps of card.  It was the long task of cutting out the hexagons and placing them randomly on the white card stock.

This is not completed yet, - as I have not matt and layered it, nor added a sentiment.  I really enjoying doing this, and can thing of lots of colour combinations to use... - watch this space.
