The challenge on Allsorts this week is "Wings" which was too tempting not to have a go at.
This is what I came up with. I wanted to use my favourite Butterfly Beauties stamps again so decided to combine them with that Crafters Workshop stencil I used in the last scrapbook layout.
This time I used the stencil as a template on folded cardstock to make a shaped card. I drew round the design on the stencil and coloured it with felt pens, then spritzed it with pink bubblegum, cherry and key lime glimmer mists and went over the original design lines again just to make them stand out.
As usual I stamped the butterflies on scrap card and applied some Blimey Limey Green (what a great name) moonglow mica powder just to give them a shimmer. They were cut out and stuck on randomly with an Artylicious word of inspiration, although I did shorten it slightly.
I tried to do something a little bit different than just a standard card, the trouble was with this theme I was a bit spoilt for choice and I'm still not sure what I think about what I've done. Still I suppose that is the whole point of a challenge.

It's lovely. I'm with you - when I try something a bit different, I don't really know where I'm going with it...you clearly have the skill of knowing when to stop though - this is beautiful!
Lisa this is really beautiful - can you make me one?
Laughed at your swimming with the cats post too, they are little darlings and have a kind mummy and daddy to rescue them.

This is lovely and so unique Lisa.
I've been checking back down your blog for things I've missed this past week while I've been having such problems with my computer. I love the tag from a few days ago and the lovely scrap page.
Sorry but I had to laugh at your antics with your cats in the 'monsoon'.
