It's that time already for another challenge down at the Fashionable Stamping Challenges. Butterflies and Bugs is the current theme. Do head over to the FSC blog to check out the stunning projects by those gorgeous Stampettes. Please remember this is a stamping challenge and strictly no digis allowed. The lovely Marina from Cottage Crafts has this lovely set of stamps for the winning entry, so we look forward to your fabulous creations.
Butterflies are one of my favourite choices when stamping. I decided to alter one of those cheap ikea mirrors as I bought a few before Christmas with the intention of making some presents and of course it never happened. At least I managed to get a photo without myself reflected in it.
The stamps used are, Lost Coast Designs Butterflies and carrying on the Da Vinci theme, Rubber stampedes Dreaming of you and Unity stamps Carte Postale.
I'm also entering this in the following challenges.
The Artistic Stamper ~ Vintage
Fabulous Friday Challenge ~ Paint
Polkadoodles ~ Vintage and retro
CES Challenge ~ Vintage Dahling
Hope you all are having a great crafty weekend XX

Absolutely stunning!! Love the way you have coloured the frame and the stamps and how you used them is just wonderful. Who would want to look at themselves when they can look at such a beautiful frame lol.....
