Play Date Cafe Challenge 29

Sarah's colour choice, this week, at the Play Date Cafe. I finally got around to using the huge Elusive Images butterfly, from their 'Patchwork Butterfly' plate, that I bought several months ago. I coloured the butterfly with Derwent Colour Soft pencils and then cut it out - I can't believe I didn't snip the antennae off! The background was creating using Adirondack Citrus ink and then various stamps from Laxmi Designs. The leaf around the edge is also from Laxmi. The sentiment stamp was from the same Elusive Images plate as the butterfly.

    Ooh, I love this. I found it so difficult to work with these colours and mine looks so garish compared to yours - certainly challenged me, lol!

    Oh this is beautiful! Until I read how you made it I thought your background was patterned paper, how extraordinary for you to design it so beautifully! That butterfly stamp is amazing, too!

    I LOVE butterflies so it was a hit for me as soon as I saw the link, but what a fab job you've done with the colouring of this. Well done with the antennae too, I can't tell you the number of times I've got to the end of the butterfly and cut the antennaes off!!! ;o) Thanks for playing along with us at the PDCC this week! Yet another lovely one!
