POST #500!! All Creatures Great and Small Challenge at Stampotique

As the title says, this week's challenge over at Stampotique Designer's Challenge Blog is SDC #248 ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL hosted by Nellie van Leeuwen whose artwork I've admired for what must be 10 or 11 years now when I first started stamping..how time flies.

Talking of flying, the 'creature'  I chose was the butterfly...hope that was ok and fits the bill.

I used two stamps from Stampotique Originals for this - 

Beauty #3056 and Large Butterfly #3047

and my new bargain paints I bought yesterday from ALDI for  £1.99!! The colours are just so crisp and soft, LOVE THEM!! (Bought two lots  of the pastel colours actually, can't go wrong for £1.99). Last year I brought a set of  neon brights, but these pastel shades are more me. Maybe its my age lol

The butterfly stamp I used from Stampotique is perhaps larger than you may realise... Stampotique produce two sizes of this image...one small one large, Here is a ruler laying along side the large stamp. The actual butterfly itself is approx 5"/12cm which is probably one of the largest butterfly stamps available anywhere I would imagine.

Here are a few close ups etc of the card.

As you can see the wings are standing away from the card front.

Love those paint colours! So pleased with my bargain!

Thanks for stopping by.  x
