Butterfly's & backgrounds

I have been a bit more organised looking at blogs and thought I'd like to try Tim's March Tags of 2012 mosiac butterflys and also loved the idea of Simon says Stamp Background. So off I went.




The Background  was created by stamping some flowers (99p foam stamp form hobbycraft) in jet black Staz On. Then embossing a white Hero Arts Stencil flower. I aplied colour using Distress stains in Spun Sugar, Wild Honey and Tumbled glass. To finish off the background I used a key mask, this I don't think was effected (but I tried).

The butterflys were made using Tim Holtz tutorial but with the stash I had so  Woodware double sided adhesive sheets and Colourful Thoughts silver jewel enamel embossing powder. I am very pleased with the effect. I added the  Sizzix die word  "inspire " as thats what Tim's blog post did! I loved making the butterflys and they were just so much fun!

I'm also going to enter this into the Craft Room Bling and Glitter/sparkle because as I looked this morning it fits the challenge so well, even though I didn't set out to be sparkly, that how it ended up!! Hope that's OK.
