Wot no colouring...!!

Good Morning and I hope it's fine wherever you are!

I have a "grown up" card to share with you today,
 the idea borne from several challenges.


The starting point was the background which was made using my Big & Juicy ink pad together with perfect pearls spritzed with water and then squished with water colour card. The stamp is new and came complete with the sentiment .  I bought it to encourage me to live on the wild side and do something other than colouring!! The butterfly die was free with a magazine some time ago and I just had to go with black. To finish off I simply knotted seam binding ribbon around the topper and matted on black card.

My inspiration came from these challenges

Crafty Ribbons #60 - Anything Goes with Ribbon
A Little Bit Crafty - Clean & Simple
Allsorts Challenge #223 - Butterflies
ABC44 - Sympathy

Thank you for stopping by xx
