Urban Butterflies

Today's card features some new (to me) stamps...I picked them up in a charity shop a couple of days ago...there was no packaging with them, and their previous owner had separated the butterflies, but I was fairly sure I recognised them as being by Papermania...a quick Google has revealed that I was right...they're simply called 'Butterflies' from the 'Urban Stamps' range. I stamped them on to watercolour paper, then coloured them using watercolour pencils. I distressed the edges a little, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Go To Words' set by Visible Image.

    Such a pretty card Helen. Such pretty watercoloured butterflies and the faux stitching had me fooled - thought it was real! Also I'm in awe of your chazzing skills - those stamps were a brilliant find!

    Hi Helen,

    I love how wonderfully CAS this is. And the stitching, I somehow never manage to get out my machine.

    Hugs
