* * * * * ANYTHING GOES WITH A STAMP AND RIBBON * * * * *
Who doesn't like adding a ribbon or two to their creations?! We're sponsored by the fabulous Crafty Ribbons, who have a superb range of ribbons, buttons, lace and more for your crafting needs. They have given us a fantastic bundle of ribbons and embellishments for this month's lucky winner.
I recently acquired the gorgeous new Bigz Butterfly 1 from Inkylicious, and couldn't wait to ink it up! I stamped it on to watercolour paper and coloured it with Be Creative alcohol markers, then masked it and sponged, stamped and stencilled the background. I added some shading around the butterfly with coloured pencil to make it stand out a bit. All stamps by Inkylicious. Tim Holtz Mixed Media die used as stencil. I mounted the finished design on to the base card along with a strip of patterned paper (PDA), sheer and satin ribbons, and pearl embellishments which I coloured with the alcohol markers to match the ribbon.
The base card is 7" x 5", which gives you an idea of the size of the butterfly, which is simply stunning.
In the knowledge that people will be busy with holidays and summer activities this month we've kept the theme nice and simple, so I hope lots of you will find time to enter for a chance of winning that gorgeous prize! We look forward to seeing your projects!

Absolutely gorgeous, Lynne! Your butterfly is beautifully coloured too. I haven't managed to ink mine up yet! Hopefully I will manage it soon!
Oh Lynne this is such a stunning card - love the bold butterfly and how you have coloured it - your background is so subtle and really makes the butterfly take the eye!
