Club Scrap July Techique Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Today I am posting a card I made for the July Techique Challenge at Club Scrap.  The technique challenge is to ink and stamp through a stencil. I don't have many open spaced stencils so I decided to make one.

For my first attempt I die cut the solid butterfly 4 times randomly to create a stencil. Inked with distress inks in 2 colors. Once dry I stamped with a sentiment from the Dahlia kit and India black ink. Used the plain and patterned paper from the Office Space. Here is the card. 

I was happy with the results but felt I could do better. This time I die cut the butterflies around in a circle. Made some handmade flowers using Elizabeth Craft Designs - Cherry Blossoms die. With the die from ECD I placed in the center. Orange for the outline and yellow for the center. Added a few gems. Again these are all papers from the Office Space Kit.

TFL!  Remember you have until July 31 to follow my blog for a chance to win some fabulous dies from Die-Namites and Spellbinders.
