CHALLENGE No. 35 AT DARE YOU TO DIGI STAMP!

Hi lovely bloggers! Can hardly believe two weeks have passed since my first GDT spot with the lovely ladies at 
 DU2DS.  Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun - there were lots of stunning entries.
***
So, onto another new Challenge, and this one requires the addition of some METAL!!  You can interpret this any way you wish - maybe add a charm, some metallic card, old coins - you get the idea! A digi image should also be included on your project and full details can be found by clicking on the above link.
***
For my GD card I have used the beautiful Butterfly Catcher image from
Chris at Sketching StamperThe image has been coloured with Copics, then layered onto a sheet of copper craft foil. I have used a dressmakers tracing wheel around the edges of the foil and the white card.  I really wanted to keep it quite simple, so as not to detract from the image.
The cardstock is SU Sage Shadow, and I was lucky enough to find exactly the right shade of satin ribbon at Duttons for Buttons in Ilkley! (If you're ever in West Yorkshire and you need buttons - that's the place to go)!!

Have a great weekend - love and hugs, Sylvia xxxxxx
PS: If anyone knows why these two photos are jagged around the edges when you click to enlarge them, I would love to hear from you! Thank you.

Thanks Claire and Lyn for letting me know - it's either something weird to do with my bloggy thing, or something to do with my dodgy eyesight!!
Lots of love - Sylvia xxx

Hi Sylvia. What a stunning image, I just love her and you've coloured her beautifully. The copper seems to highlight the colours even more.
