Hi,
I've just popped on here to post a card I want to enter into two challenges. Over at Allsorts they are celebrating their first birthday with a blog hop and challenge to make a birthday card. There are many fab prizes on offer, so go and have a look!
This card is also for Sir Stampalot challenge which this month is butterflies and blossoms and the prize is a huge stash of Tim Holtz goodies.
Anyway, to the card. I saw this technique in a craft mag about a year ago and stashed it in my brain for future use. I've used a wonderful dimension fourth stamp my Mum brought me when she came to visit. I stamped it once with no colour and then coloured another in and cut part of it to stick on with 3D foam pads. I then cut out the flower again and used glossy accents for the centre. I have used a glimmer mist background with paper from the KandCo Amy Butler range. The butterfly is a kaisercraft stamp.
Now I'm off to go places with my parents again.

Morning Nikki
So nice to see you again, I was thinking about you the other day but rememebered your parents were visiting.
Your card has a real fee of sophistication about it (that looks odd but spell check say's it's right apparently)and the soft deilicate colours are perfect for the theme.
Thank you so mcuh for sharing with us at our Allsrots Birthday celebrations and Stampalot challenges.
Keep well.
