Today sees a brand new challenge at Sir Stampalot. This month we have a photo inspiration for you:-
Here's my card inspired by this picture:-
I stamped Hero Arts "Silhouette Grass" S5316 onto blue card using Brilliant Pearlescent Olive ink. I then randomly stamped Stampendous "Flutterbug" XXA002 amongst the grass using Brilliant Crimson ink and added a sentiment from Personal Impressions "Fairy Silhouette" clear set PICS056. I distressed around the image using Tim Holtz "Distress Ink" Weathered Wood and then used a distress tool to roughen the edges of the card. I covered the wings of the flutterbugs with Ranger "Crackle Accents" and left it all to dry. Once it was dry I stapled the image card onto a burgundy mat and layered this onto more blue card with an edge punched using a Martha Stewart Deep Edger Punch "Flower Bed".
As always, we have a brilliant prize, sponsored by Sir Stampalot.
I hope you can join us this month and I look forward to visiting all the entries.
Hugs and best wishes,
Clare xx

Good Monring Clare
Beautiful work as always.
Your card gives me thoughts of a warm summer evening walking through the fields here in the fens with a gentle breeze amongst the corn which is always a magical experience.
The Hero sihouette grass is a favourite of us all I think, but each time I see it on a card it looks toally different, shows just how versatile it is.
