Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Bingo!

This week, it's Janet's turn to choose the theme of the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge...which is:

'Let's play bingo!'

Choose three items in either a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

With a prize of three digis of the winner's choice from the Stamping Boutique!

I picked Glitter-Pearls-Leaves...and got inky with another of my new Penny Black stamps...this one's called 'Butterfly Suite'. I stamped it in black, then blended 'Faded Jeans', 'Pine Needles' and 'Evergreen Bough' Distress Inks over the top...then inked around the edges using 'Brushed Corduroy'. I then spattered some plain water, and inky water over the top, before sprizting the whole thing with a shimmer spray made using 'Soft Gold' Cosmic Shimmer pigment mixed with water. I used more 'Soft Gold' to paint around the edges...then went over that with 'Crystal' Stickles for more sparkle. I stamped the butterflies from the stamp again, then painted them using 'Bright Holly' and 'Soft Gold' pigments, then layered them on the image. This card is for my Aunt's 65th birthday next month, so I added some numbers cut using my Cuttlebug 'Olivia' alphabet...which a distressed using more 'Soft Gold' pigment...and then added a few gold pearls (from Wild Orchid Crafts) to balance that out. The sentiment stamp is from the CCSR set by Papermania.  

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

• C.R.A.F.T. - No Designer Papers
• Flutterby - Anything with Wings
• Papercraft Star - Butterflies
• Simon Says Stamp & Show - Anything Goes
