For this one I started by stamping a script stamp over a white card - using the ink and second generation stamping so it was lighter. I then tore round the edge and distressed the whole sheet with the ink. I then inked up my Dandelion Frame and stamped it. I stamped the butterfly from the antique engravings onto the card and then twice onto scarp card. These two I distressed all over, cut out and double mounted with glue dots. Before putting the lot onto the cream card I distressed the card edges with the Vintage Photo ink as well. I added a little Kindyglitz gold glitter round the edges of the wings
I am feeling a bit off colour today- woke with a bad headache ( luckily some Paracetamol has helped) but decided to sleep it off a bit... so now it is 11.15am and I have just gotten up to take the photo and blog this card. I'll probably get some house work done as well as all weekend is Stamp Camp.... 2 FULL days of stamping and papercrafting... very exciting. I can't believe a whole year has gone by since last one... but it has.
Take care everyone and hope your weekend will be as exciting as mine!!!

Hi Dawn! So excited about your weekend! Hope you learn lots and have fun! Love your mono card...butterfly looks so real!
Oh pretty card, Dawn! Vintage Photo is a favorite ink of mine. Have fun at Stamp Camp, it sounds like a lot of fun. I'd like more information about it when you get a chance. I'm always looking for fun events to add to the calendar at Stamp Fever.
bless you,

I think this qualifies with spades for the monochromatic challenge! Love the stamps you mixed together! Vintage Photo is the only brown distress ink I own, and it seems to work anywhere I need it to......Hope your headache has passed; there's nothing worse. Have fun at Stamp Camp - I'm jealous!
So lovely Dawn! I really like that new TH ink that you used! The dandelion frame is perfect for surrounding the butterfly and the background design!
Gorgeous card Ma! The flutterby looks awesome... can i have one on my birthday card?? :):):)
Hope you are feeling better and have a good time at stamp camp on the weekend :)
