Anyhoo - here's what I have done as inspiration for the challenge:


I used the recently released ink-splat-butterfly from Limor Webber. I stamped it in versa mark and added black wow powder and heat set. I then used distress inks to create the background colours and stamped in similar colours using limor-circles stamps and also script-background stamps. I also used the words from the plume set of stamps.


I used similar colours on the background card and also the background script stamp.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:


Have a really great Fathers Day - we are planning on a few things - saw my dad yesterday so today we're focusing on Shaun. Another first to get through but feeling strong!

Big hugs to you!

Rachel x

  21. Dear Rachel
    A visit to your Blog is long overdue but you might have gathered that health issues have been creating a wee bit of nuisance in my life. I am slowly trying to visit all my lovely friends who have stayed loyal to my Blog during my continued absence. I am so thrilled for you, absolutely over the moon because you deserve this, not only in recognition of your beautiful art but you deserve to have good news come your way. I was actually thinking of you and your girls today, imagining what a tough day it has been but I am sure that all three of you honoured Shaun in the most wonderful way, as you always do. It might be a while before I stop by again but in the meantime, Congratulations, you are going to be such an amazing asset to their team.
    Wishes
    Lynne
