And my design for this week's challenge...



Inspiration - Old (vintage) and high flying (butterflies)...

I randomly stamped the image with all three distress inks. After getting the effect I desired, I used a corner punch to round the edges and inked them. I used the darker Walnut Stain for this part. Once that was completed I stamped my sentiment on with the Walnut ink. I attached a strip of ribbon on the front of my card and tied a double bow. I inked the blossom lightly with the Walnut Stain before adhering to the card front. The leaves are cut out of kraft paper and inked as well. The other details behind the rose are actually tiny medallion punches I cut out of coffee filters! To finish up, I added some pretty pearls in back! You will find a product list below.

Thanks again and I can't wait to see what you will create! Please visit my sister sticks to see the eye candy they have for you!
