Allsorts Challenge - Week 6 - Wings

Good afternoon. Thank you so much to everyone who visited my blog for the Sugar Nellie Blog Hop and left such lovely messages - it really made my day.

At last, I am entering a challenge. I've been crafting aplenty recently, just not for challenges. However, I couldn't resist the challenge at Allsorts Challenge Blog this week which is "Wings".

Here's my entry:-

As you can see, I've treated myself to one Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad - "Antique Linen" and I think I've gone a bit mad with it, it's made an appearance on just about everything I've made since I got it. I think it's a bit lonely on it's own so I will have to save the pennies to get it some friends (another 23 perhaps!!).

To make this card I've used some white card to make a blank which I have embossed on the front using a score board, I've lightly inked the edges. I then took another piece of white card and ran it through the "Script" Cuttlebug embossing folder, I distressed the edges of this card with a distress tool and liberally inked it with "Antique Linen" distress in. The flower was made using Spellbinders Flower Creations 1 die, again it's been distress inked! I then cut two butterflies with an X-cut punch out of white card, I covered them with Versamark ink and heat embossed them with Heat It Up! "Enchanted Gold" embossing powder. Finally, I added some gems from my stash.

I really enjoyed making this card.

Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to look. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
