It is time for our next challenge over at Uniko and it is sure to be a popular one! The theme is Things with Wings. I love my Uniko butterflies so this was an easy choice:
I stamped the butterflies from Bright Butterflies in vibrant colours and then toned them down slightly by adding a layer of vellum over the top. I hand stitched the corners with yellow thread to attach the vellum and add a bit of interest. I stamped the sentiment from Uniko's Fontiments set - this is my regular go to for sentiments. I inked around the edges of the base layer to ensure it matched the butterflies.
The softening effect of the vellum keeps this design fresh and light.
I hope you like it!
You can enter this challenge as many times as you like and using any stamps....although we love to see what you make with Uniko stamps :)
Check out the other great designs by the Uniko DT. We are joined by the super talented Elaine from Craft-E-Place and Michelle from Amusing Michelle as Guest Designers this month - they are both amazing card makers but you probably already know that!
I will also enter this card in Virginia's View Challenge as it has several layers.
Thanks for stopping by!
