Fiskarettes tree

Hello Lovelies! How are you? I hope you are fine and happy. We're enjoying half term. Its been fun so far!
I want to share with you today a make that I did for Fiskarettes - you'll find it here.
I used a clarity stencil and a Fiskars punch and distress inks plus scraps of paper to make this card,


The butterfly punch is a squeeze punch and works beautifully with paper.


The distress colours I used were ripe persimmon and fossilised amber. The stamp is from Clarity. 
I would like to enter this into the Clarity challenge this month which is claritystampchallenge round and round challenge ... I hope this is okay with the added butterflies! Makes me think of that Joni Mitchell song ...and the seasons they go round and round .....

Have a great day!

Hugs

Rachel xx
