Have you seen the challenges over at Paper Crafts Connection pertaining to the current special issue?
One of them is to create a flower using non-flower stamps. Well I don't know if this is exactly what they're looking for (maybe that's why it belongs to the species: reject for this exact challenge in the submission call for this issue). But I think it's mega cool!
Using DD's highlighters I colored a piece of Neenah CS. Then I stamped a zillion butterflies from Hero Arts Antique Flowers and Butterflies. Then I die cut a zillion butterflies! Created my bloom. Curved a sentiment to make a stem (cool too, no?) One leaf later the card was done.
Hard to photograph, neon is. But really, oh so cool!
Thanks for visiting.
Very cool idea, Maria. Love those neony butterflies! Looks like a winner to me. Can't wait to show this to my granddaughter Lily...she'll absolutely love this! Have a great weekend. Bev
