Hi, Hope you are having a good Easter Monday. I started my day by watching a video of yesterday's C & C show with Barbara Grey. She is such a talented lady! I watched her demoing at the NEC - I would love to do with a stamp what she does!
Today I'm using the stamps of another of my favourite craftrers - Glenda from Elusive Images. Sometimes you use a stamp and like, sometimes don't, and sometimes love - I have to say that these stamps I really, really love!
On a 6" x 6" card - using a scoreboard - make a diamond pattern
On smooth white card, using Momento Ink, I stamped a butterfly image and coloured with Promarkers and then with a square die cut and embossed the edges. The black mat was made in the same way. The shaded coloured background was made using three Distress Inks applied with Cut-n-Dry Foam.
To finish the card you need to make a mask of the butterfly, then using three stamps I built a design. A script stamp from Creative Expressions, a sentiment stamp from Hobby Art, and the swirl corner stamp from the same set as the butterfly made the border.
The flower embellishment finished my card - for this I used various punches, flowers, wire and a pearl.
Have a creative day!

Just got the butterfly plate and you've inspired me to take it out of the wrapper and have a go.
You're creation is lovely.

That is just beautiful. You are so very clever and talented. x
A beautiful card. I think you are more or less up there with Barbara Grey. I wish I was a bit nearer your standard, I am getting better and will get there eventually. My Easter Monday has been spent buying a new computer for my hubby so he can get a look in at the computer because I hog it all the time. Buying was easy its the setting up that causes all the problems. The internet is proving to be a little bit difficult so we've given up for tonight and will get a friend to help tomorrow.
Another great card Eileen, love the way you made that card, butterfly is super.Thanks for sharing, your blog is fab for info.
