Pink Cats With Vintage Butterflies

 

So I am due to get my Covid vaccination on Tuesday, I wasn't sure about having it at the beginning but I feel it is the best way forward.  My husband had bad side effects from his last week, so I am hoping all will be well.

It's a new month for Stamping Sensations and We Love Chocolate Baroque challenges, if you didn't get the chance to join in last month's challenges these could be the ones for you.

At Stamping Sensations this month the theme is 'Monochromatic'  Monochromatic can be varying shades of any colourway of your choice (not just black and white as many think). I chose shades of pink for my card, using both Distress Inks and Versafine Clairs.  The stamps are all Lavinia and a touch of glitter to complete it.

We have sponsorship this Month from 

This months lucky winner will receive a £25 store voucher from Stamp Addicts.

And of course, the Design Team have created some stunners to inspire you. Please do pay them a visit to their individual blogs - it means a lot to know you appreciate their efforts.

And now onto my second challenge creation for We Love Chocolate Baroque, where the theme is  'I love...........' We want you to share your crafting loves and what makes you happy when crafting. Mine is Vintage and Butterflies

I used the stamp set Butterfly Mind from chocolate Baroque, I created a background using Distress Oxides and stamping splatters from the set.  I doodled around the edge.  For the image I stamped in black then stamped the butterflies again, fussy cutting them, and colouring them with Distress Inks.  I coated the butterflies with Glossy Accents to make them look like vintage Enamel Brooches (well that's what they remind me of).  I added my own computer generated words.

Our prize:-
