One stamp challenge

Here is my one stamp challenge . I'm really into butterflies at the moment and thought the two diamonds together would make lovely wings .
Firstly using the special touch of mica mask I layered it onto white stamping card. Using oak house studio colour chemistry ink orchid and powder blue , I stencilled thro the mask. Taking the stamp I used a waterfall big and juicy pad and the sprinkled a pearl embossing powder and heated it .
Using a blue and purple pastel I chalked the diamonds , mounting them onto a silver piece of card to give them shadow I also did the same with the piece of card I had coloured with the inks. Using a length of wire I wrapped it round pliers to make the antenni , inserting them into silicone glue on the card .
Adding the diamonds to the card creating the butterfly shape , and then using some small pearls I created the trail . Mounting it finally onto purple card stock . Finally I took a piece of wood effect card stock and created a frame .

House Mouse



I have to say this is one of my favorite designs i did .I loved colouring the house mouse stamp, for most of it I used the promarker fine nip tips u can buy and it took me ages to colour. I knew i wanted to create and Autumn feel to the card to bring out the design of the house mouse. After searching through many papers I couldn't find the right paper. So looking at the image with the mouse playing with the leaves I thought why not recreate the leaves, so of  I  toddled into the garden to fetch some Autumn leaves. After i had them dried out and pressed them  I attached them to the card with just white pva glue . Once it had dried I matt and layered the leaves onto a sage green card stock . Taking the stamped image I added these to a piece of gold mirra card. Finally adding the gold ribbon to finish the card . I was very pleased with finished design.
