BUTTERFLY BLUES


      I have made this card using a Lavinia stamp. I have not got many of their pretty designs yet but decided to try to come up with a card suitable for this months challenge at Lavinia stamps.  The challenge is to use pink or blue or both. I decided to use my butterfly stamp. 
        
       The border along the bottom is made by using inks onto shaving foam. This gives a lovely marbled effect. I trimmed back and mounted onto some dark blue card.


          I added a die cut greeting in matching card.  Next I stamped the butterfly in Cornflower blue Archival ink. Then coloured in using Spectrum Noir pencils.  I went over some areas with a glitter pen which does not show up too well in the photos. 

       I just stamped some little stars randomly about the card using a very tiny stamp from Lavinia. Then mounted onto blue card again and a 7 x 7 card blank. 


     
         Quite a simple card really but looks so clean and fresh.  Hope you like this one, I will enter it into the challenge and keep my fingers crossed.  First time I have tried the challenge at Lavinia.

    This is beautiful, Lynne....I recently taught the shaving foam effect at one of my workshops, the ladies loved it! I still think the Lavinia Zen butterfly is one of my most favourite stamps.....EVER! thanks for sharing with us in the May challenge.
