August Butterflies

Time for the August calendar challenge at the Craft Barn.
I used the Rubber Dance colour scheme, perfect for a bright summer's day feel.

I have made this page on acetate, it is the reverse of the page I did for May, which explains the weird shape of my cardstock.


I used flower stamps from Papertrey ink and the butterflies are from a Crafty Individuals set (CI-231) where I have tried to stamp both "solid" and "line" images on top of each other user a stamp positioner (my paper moved...). I am still in two minds as to whether or not to cut this plate apart, in this instance it would have made my life a lot easier!
I added some green and blue distress inks in the background to round off my garden impression.

As I was writing this post I realised I'd left off the most important part...the calendar, so here is another pic:


Just as well, the calendar manages to hide the more-brown-than yellow butterfly...

Thanks for coming by,

    A pretty delicate page, and think the weird card shape just enhances the "moment in time" look.

    Beautiful, Craftyfield! I love the delicate look of the flowers, and the butterflies are just like they should be - perfectly hand stamped if you ask me! :-) Thank you so much for entering our August challenge! (PS: I also love your May calendar flowers on the back!)

    I just love the flower stamping here - the perfect look of a hazy summer's day in the meadow… sad to lose some of them under the calendar in fact!! Lovely card.

    Thanks so much for playing along at Country View Challenges.

    I love the soft, gentle feel you have created on your page. I have that butterfly plate and have cut it up. I don't use a stamp positioner with them, just stamp by eye. I like the hit and miss result and the white spaces that result.
