Hi there my lovely blogging friends - I hope you are all having a happy week.
**********
This is my second Post in two days - (otherwise known as something of a miracle in my crafty world)!!
This fortnight at FYI we have another amazing picture for you to work with - you can interpret it in any way you desire - I have taken inspiration from the rich shades of blue, orange and green. My "Recipe" is further down the page.
We also have an amazingly generous Sponsor this fortnight - Bugaboo Digi Stamps who are giving SEVEN digis to the challenge winner.
The Design Team have also been offered some of their fabulous images to work with - do pop over to FYI to see what the talented DT have created.
I chose the beautiful "Love Conquers All" image from the Silhouette "love blocks" range.
**********
Recipe ~
Black base card, 6" x 6".
White cardstock brayered with Kaleidacolor "Creole Spice" ink pad, then machine-stitched to the base card.
The Bugaboo digi was printed onto a separate piece of white cardstock, and lightly brayered with the same ink pad. Butterflies coloured with Copics.
Corners were rounded with an X-cut punch, and a sprinkling of Glamour Dust added to the butterfly trail. The Tim Holtz Elegant Flourishes die was used for the black diecut swirl, before attaching the panel to the card with 3-d foam pads.
A butterfly was cut out from a second print-out of the image, coloured with Copics and attached to the card.

beautiful card, lovely colors!
I love me some kaleidacolor pads but they don't behave for me with brayering at all the way you used yours. Such lovely color! And what a lovely card too. Thanks for coming alongside us this month at Stampin' Sisters in Christ!
Just fabulous Sylvia! I love how you've used the colours from the photo to make your card.
