'Inspired by a Song'
The song that inspired my card is 'Love is like a Butterfly' by Dolly Parton...not my usual sort of thing to listen to, but it popped into my head as I rummaged through my Penny Black stamps! I stamped one of the butterflies from the 'Social Butterfly' set onto watercolour paper using 'Old Paper Distress Ink, then used more Old Paper ink, along with Peacock Feathers and Broken China to watercolour it. I splattered a little of the same coloured ink over the top, added a sentiment (from the 'Go To' words set by Visible Image), distressed the edges a little then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- Allsorts - Anything Goes
- Animal Friends - Insects
- Sparkles Forum - Use a Real Stamp
- The Sisterhood of Crafters - Birds, Bees or Butterflies
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
