There are some lovely leaves on the Tangled Garden stamp set, just released at
Chocolate Baroque and I wanted to make a feature of a few of them in this design. I decided to create a rambling frame, by stamping and masking them around the outside of the background, which I had painted with Ecoline ink. I then linked the leaves with small areas of tangled designs. They are simple twirls and dots, not very complicated at all.
I coloured the leaves with pencils. I then stamped the Butterfly onto a spare piece of card and coloured it with pencils as before. I added some wire and some toning pearls for antennae. I stamped a sentiment taken from the 'Patchwork Butterfly' stamp set onto the background to complete the card.
I love using butterflies in my card making, and I think that this one will become a firm favourite. Thanks for stopping by, xx
Judith this is beautiful I love the butterfly and the colours and layout are gorgeous. Caroline xxx
