Butterfly Collage

Glenda's new show on Create and Craft is on Tuesday 10th Feb. at 1pm. This show launches the Butterfly Collage stamp sheets. You can get a sneak peek of the stamps from the card below:
They're wonderful stamps to use. I've combined them here with some Artylicious papers and then I've used Derwent Inktense pencils to colour in the main image. I can see why they're called 'inktense'! The colours are really rich. When I'd finished edging the card with the pencils, I decided the background was too white, so I just wet my finger and rubbed it over the colours to spread them around a bit:
If you go on over to the Elusive Images blog over the weekend, there's going to be some blog candy!

Enjoy!

    I love this Helen. I can't wait to get my hands on those stamps. My efforts won't rival yours but I can try and I think I might need some of those pencils too.
