Sharon set the challenge this week and asked for something reflective on our cards. I chose both foiling on the butterfly using the Stix 2 iron and foil sheets plus the addition of blue mirri card for the feathers.
I usually do anything that creates mess outside. It's so much safer that way, but it was raining and I thought to myself 'how much mess can a little paint spatter make?'. Wrong. Even though I had partially covered stuff I obviously didn't do a good enough job. Next time I'll use a box as was suggested to me - a little too late!
Dovecraft have a fantastic new range of stamps and this one is an absolute favourite of mine. I love the sentiment. I can relate it to so many of my friends so this year they'll all be getting a card with the same sentiment!
I hope you'll join in the challenge this week and look at the stunning creations by my fellow DT members HERE.
Have a great weekend!
