CC3 challenge: stamps and sizzlets

Morning lovelies! How are you today? I hope you're well and happy! I feel relieved that the last couple of days are done and have been successful - my coffee morning made around £125 including sponsor money which is fabulous - that makes me quite close to my target on my just giving page so I'm very pleased! Here's a little peek at the goodies before folks arrived!

The lemon drizzle might not look much but its my fave and is just gorgeous!!!

Okay dokey - onto todays make - its for the CC3 challenge this time around which is stamps and sizzlits: The challenge is sponsored by Inspiration Emporium who have a prize of 50$ to spend in their on line store


I started off with the tag - I used distress stains to create the background and then stamped and cut the butterflies etc. I added the burlap then set about creating the backing - I used the faded layers technique again - I just love this one and can't get away from it - I seem to use it a lot at the moment. I also made a bow from ribbon and stuck everything on to a piece of ripped cardboard that I had dragged mowed lawn distress paint over.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Big Hugs to you! Thanks for dropping by today and I hope to see you again soon!

I love the French themed framelits and you've used them well here. Love the background colors. Love the black stamping. Love the layers of different texture papers and patterns and colors.
