Butterfly Love


Woohoo Saturday again and another challenge from Less is more.  This week we have to take 3 challenges from the previous weeks and combine them.  I've gone for week 1 Pink Black and White, week 4 3 Squares and Week 16 Butterflies.  To be honest it was really difficult to choose as most of the challenges have been brilliant.  Sorry but the acetate one scarred me a little, hee hee.

So onto todays card, very simple really, a Whisper White base then  3 squares cut from Basic Black.  The butterflies from Butterfly Prints, I coloured directly onto the stamp using my Blender pen and Melon mambo.  I only coloured the centres enough to pick up the different patterns.  Then I coloured "Love" from the sentiment in Melon Mambo and positioned it with my Stamp-a-ma-jig.

Thanks for taking the time to come visit.  I'm sure this weeks Less is More talent will produce some very varied results, it's well worth a look. x

Supplies Used
All Stampin' Up! unless otherwise stated

Card: Whisper White, Basic Black
Ink: Melon Mambo
Stamps: Butterfly Prints

    Colour combination goes so well with the butterflies, love the way you have left the edges plain and only stamped the centres of the wings.

    Lovely card Aileen, love the classic design and the touch of colour on the butterflies. I think the hardest thing this week is choosing three challenges to combine!!!
