Mixed Media Card Challenge

It's May! Yes today is the first of the month and you know what that means - the beginning of another Mixed Media Card Challenge! We had so many beautiful entries last month, full of gorgeous blooms!

This month's theme is 'WINGS', which is lucky for me, because I find it hard to make a card without adding a butterfly or a bird! The difficult part is that I have so many to chose from!The optional element is foil, which I didn't manage to include this time, but will try for next time!




This is another Gelliplate creation. I placed the STAMPlorations mask on the Gelliplate and then brayered some  red and yellow paint  over the mask. With the mask still in place I pressed a honeycomb patterened pot holder over the rest of the paint and then pulled my print. Once dry, I stamped the butterflies and coloured some with a distress marker.
I then cut the panel and sponged black soot distress ink around the edges.  Then I stamped, coloured and fussy cut  2 more butterflies and covered them Ranger Crackle Paint.   All stamps  and the mask are from STAMPlorations.



Thank you for coming to visit my blog.  If you want to see more wonderful inspiration, then pop over to the Mixed Media Card Challenge and hopefully you'll be inspired to join in.

It is Anything Goes at both the Simon Monday Challenge and the Simon Wednesday Challenge so I'm joining in with both. I am also entering the Craft Stamper Take it, Make it challenge, which is also Anything Goes. ETA: Also entering the STAMPlorations Anything Goes Challenge.
