Butterflies

I just HAD to have this stamp. I was on a recent shopping trip to Michael's and it literally jumped off of the shelf and into my hands. And surprisingly enough it was on FANTASTIC sale!! (I would have bought it at full price...that's how much I love it) My favorite is the intracies of the interior of the wings.
If you look closely, you'll see what I mean!!

I used PTI white cardstock and stamped this gorgeous stamp in Brilliance Pigment Ink in Black - but it has a tinge of gold to it (the real color name is escaping me at this time). I coated it with embossing powder and heat set it.
I then went with Kraft cardstock as my base, followed by simple red and black cardstock.
I wanted to vintage up my image a little bit so I used my Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distressing in and worked it around the edges.
As a last touch, I used my Doodlebug rub on letters and added the word 'butterflies...' as my sentiment.

I love how this came out...truly truly love this...

I hope you are inspired and enjoy my creation!!!

XOXO-
Meredith
