Oh boy, nothing is more fun than waking up to new stamps on a Saturday morning! Today's Inspiration Challenge is perfect for trying them out! If you haven't tried an IC before, jump in today!! This one is so fun: See the inspiration piece.
Used the bleaching technique to get the white petals, never tried it before but it seemed perfect to go with the result I wanted. The butterfly's antenae and body are held to the card by his *head*!

Your card is wonderful! I love the butterfly and his antennae. I never thought to do something like that but I will definitely be casing that idea. I knew I'd never be able to cut out the tiny head and antennae, but this is a fabulous and unique way to get around that issue! Thanks for sharing!

Wow this is gorgeous! I didn't even notice this stamp in the Catty until last night, I wondered what people would do with it, would they make me fall in love with it? Well it only took your card, I am in love. Just awesome.
Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.

OMGoodness WOW, I thought that your bg was DP. That is one great stamp, you've done an incredible job with it. I love how you used bleach on the flower petals and I think the finishing touch is the ribbon.
