Todays post - well - it was tough choice deciding which technique to use for this months Craft stamper magazine challenge - in the end I went for the technique of eroded metal described by the fabulous Jenny Marples in the June issue of Craft Stamper magazine. This is my make:
I used the technique to create the background and also the card I used to create the butterfly which is cut using the recently released die from Tim Holtz and then embossed with the coordinating folder.
I think this picture shows the butterfly texture off well. I highlighted some areas with black. Not sure if I like them or not! I also cut a flower from burlap using the tattered florals die.
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Fabulous card Rachel, it's wonderful to see just in how many different ways that butterfly die can be used, this is lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh Rachel! I can't tell you how chuffed to bits I am that you chose to use this technique and my goodness, what a super card you've created as a result!!! It would never have occurred to me to use it for a butterfly as well as the background - how clever and imaginative of you. I wish you every success in the challenges you've entered. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteIt's great charity to run for Rachel, daughter no 1 did London for Help the Hospices and raised £1,200, I think people are generous for such causes so sure you will do well.
