I didn't get to watch this week's Altenew Live challenge with Jen Rzasa due to being really busy at work. I usually have my iphone on in the background so had to watch it on replay during my lunch break.... and I was super excited to see my card was Jen's winner....
Jen's challenge this week was make a project using just ONE mini stamp set (plus a die if the set has one!) I chose to use a Mini Delight set called Butterfly Dreams. It has a stamp set that has some butterflies and sentiments and a die set that has a birdcage and a branch. #altenewchallengelive
I wanted a bit of stamping in my background, so used the branch from the die set and cut it out of some fun foam and used it as a stamp! That counts I'm sure! I stamped in with one of the inks from Enchanted Garden Crisp Dye inks and one of the inks from Frosted Foliage Fresh Dye inks - stamping once in full strength and one second generation stamping. Die cut the birdcage from some purple card and rose gold accents. I had tried about 6 times to get the layers done on the butterflies, but gave up and used Alcohol markers to colour. I used a craft knife to cut the panel down, leaving parts of the wings over the edge. The sentiment is stamped in black so used black and purple for my matting layers. Added some dots made with the same rose gold card.
Using the die cut from fun foam, as a stamp
I made this card yesterday afternoon - what a great way to spend my birthday... playing in the craft room! And then out to dinner with our friends - Yvonne and Micheal.

What a great card, Dawn! No wonder you were the winner! Glad you had a good day for your birthday!
Such a fabulous card, Dawn - love the birdcage filled with sprigs; great idea to use a die cut as a stamp! Beautiful pair of butterflies too!!
Wow Dawn, this is amazing - love your 'foliage' and how you extended the use of the die!! Of course that is/must be allowed :)
Blessings
