Distressed Butterflies

If you read yesterday's post, you will know that today is a special day for

my blog, celebrating not 1, but 2 milestones! It turns 2 today, and this 

is my 200th post...perhaps next year on my blog's 3rd birthday, 

I will be able to post my 300th card???

Instead of creating a card for today using my more usual 'girly' style, 

I have a card that I almost finished a few weeks ago for my DT sample with

Crafty Little Fairies, but I was not happy with it, so have 'tweaked' it somewhat.

Vintage/distressed/grunge are styles with which I struggle, but I think it is good

to step out of one's comfort zone occasionally don't you. 

The Page About Butterflies stamp is quite large. I stamped it twice, cut out

the second panel with the 10 butterflies, and layered it with 3D tape to 

give it some dimension. I then heavily distressed all the stamped 

panels (perhaps a little too heavily?).

A closer look at my very heavily distressed images.

Until tomorrow, I wish you all well and hope you can indulge in some "happy crafting".
