Hello sweet visitors and welcome to my blog. So happy you decided to stop by.
It is time for a new Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. Glenda is our host for this Challenge and the Theme is Things with Wings.
I decided I was going to create a couple of ATCs but, what to use as my Winged Things?? Well, my fave Things with Wings are butterflies so .. why not use those??
Why not indeed!!

I used pasteboard as my base. Pasteboard is similar to chipboard but it has a layer of white paper front and back and is a bit cheaper to buy.
To add the colour, I sprinkled Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals and then sprayed with water. The colour used here is Danny Zuko's Denim.
.. and the Magicals colour on this ATC is Tears on my Pillow Tangerine.
For a touch of extra interest I added some torn washi tape at one side ..
The butterfly die used is the Vivienne Butterfly from Memory Box ..
To check out all the details of the Challenge and for some wonderful inspiration from the rest of the Team, pop on over to the Crafty Cardmakers blog. I'm sure you will feel inspired to join in and can't wait to see what you create.
Thank you all so much for stopping by my blog today and a special thank you for the wonderful comments that were left on my last post. I do appreciate them so much.
Have a wonderful day!
Take care and God Bless.

ReplyDeleteFabulous little ATC's with the Lindy's background making such bold statements to anchor the butterflies. Deceptively simple and just stunning.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, everytime I see something you've created it quickly becomes my new favorite, and this is no exception! I just am amazed at your background and how wonderful those Threads and Borders and dark prills look. Your doodling really takes this to the next level, something I would never think to do! Wow, you've impressed me so, once again! Hugs!
