I created a wreath by using the leafy sprays from the Take It or Leaf It stamp set. I stamped the images around a pencil drawn circle, using first and second generation stamping, and Memento Pistachio ink. Once the ink was dry, I rubbed out the pencil line. I then die cut several butterflies from book paper which had been stuck onto card, which I found in my box of scraps. The dies are a set from Crealies, and are a firm favourite of mine. I inked around the edges of the butterflies with Abandoned Coral Distress Ink and stuck them around the circle.This is not a colour that I use much, but it goes so well with the Pistachio. Finally I added a sentiment from the Birthday Words stamp set.

Absolutely gorgeous Judith, lovely colours and love the use of printed papers for the butterflies, beautifully designed card, Kate x
I adore the butterfly wreath Judith in thosse soft and pretty tones and cutting them from a book page adds to the interest and the slightly distressed look. Those leaves from the Take It or Leaf It set work beautifully for the wreath too. x
