Postage Love

Have you heard the news? Flutterby Challenges is coming back! I am so excited as it was one of my favorite challenges. In fact, Danni is having a DT call and I applied for it. One of the cards I sent was this one. I used Retro Sketches's current sketch challenge as well as Hero Arts's Pattern Hearts & Flowers stamp set. If you remember, I recently took the on-line stretch your stamps class and learned a little trick of cutting apart a stamp. I decided to do that with this stamp set so that I could use the sentiment on it's own. The stamps were white embossed on watercolor paper so that I could color the sky and flower (they are so much softer IRL). I wanted this to be a softer card so I used white as my main color with just splashes of the other. That being said my butterflies couldn't be color so I punched them out and coated them with glitter. The larger one I then folded in half so that it could look like it landed on the flower. The sentiment was stamped in a light grey so that it flowed into the design with a little glitter buttfly in the top corner. The big glitter stripe was created with glitter and score-tape. To finish it off I used three half pearls.
