The challenge this time is to use Spots and Stripes.....
With an optional twist of using a stencil (s)
This is my card
After masking my card I blended a couple of hot pink inks.
More masking and lots of stamping, with the help of the trusted Misti.
I used all Uniko stamps but you can use any stamps to enter...
I used five different stamp sets, which I enjoyed combining together.
I heat embossed some of the butterfly with silver and used silver foiling for the leaves.
I used 'blue' glue for the spots on the leaves and whilst I was rubbing the silver foil over it
I noticed that my nails had left silver foil stripes too....Win Win for the challenge! x.
Thank you Bev, Jane and the fabulous design team for choosing my card
and for the honour of guesting with you x.

This is a wonderful blend of stamps and colors. The silver against the pink and black looks beautiful. Truly a work of art.

Such amazing stamp-combining to create your stunning focal image. I love the silvery shimmer of the butterfly's leaves against the stark simplicity of the silhouetted foliage. The dots and stripes are subtle but so well positioned to draw the eye forwards to the butterfly - and the added stamens on the flower head are the perfect finishing touch. Huge congrats on your win and your guest spot with Uniko - you've done them proud.
