Anyhoo, I'm here to let you know that we are starting new challenge at Sweet Stampin' today. Our challenge theme is No DP, so step away from those papers, folks!
I had an idea in my head to use some of my pink and grey inks and I spent a not inconsiderable amount of time masking a perfect circle and filling it with little stamps from Avery Elle and Papertrey Ink. It took a couple of attempts to get the look I wanted and when I was finally happy I decided to add a little sentiment in the bottom corner of my one layer card. However, I didn't take into account the rules of Sod's Law and consequently smudged and splodged and generally b******d up my design.
Rather than start over, I reached for the Lil' Inker stitched dies and cut out my flowery circle, adhering it to the back of some pale grey cardstock. I held my breath when I stamped the sentiment as I have no doubt that there would have been some very unladylike language if I had messed things up again.
I die cut a few Memory Box butterflies from vellum which I glued together for a layered look. I also added quite a lot of sequins to complete the design.
I hope you can join us at Sweet Stampin' this week. The lovely Emma from Flat Friends is sponsoring us and has some digis to give away.
Enjoy the weekend!

Tracey, I utterly LOVE what you did with this challenge. Your card is fab and I think that mistake was somewhat kismet because your solution I think created an utterly stunning elegant CAS card. LOVE it! Hugs, Wends x
Great save and absolutely gorgeous. Many times have I botched up cards with the sentiment. Cass xx
Have to say I totally love this! Sometimes mistakes are just meant to be but it's really frustrating when it happens with the last step! Enjoy your weekend sweetie xx
