It's the first of May, and it's time for a new challenge at Dies R Us Challenges. For the month of May, the challenges are "Anything Goes", as long as you use a brand of die sold in the Dies R Us Store.
One of my best friend's mothers died, and I needed to make a sympathy card. I wanted it to be very special, because they were/are both such special ladies. Here's what I created:
The butterflies are all from the same die set. It is called Delicate Butterflies, by Spellbinders. I inked the base of the card and the wings of each butterfly with Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink in Picked Raspberry. The gold 1/2 pearls are also from Spellbinders, and finish off the card.
I hope you can join the Anything Goes challenge this next 2 weeks on the Dies R Us Challenge blog. A gift certificate to the Dies R Us Store, and 3 designer choice awards will be given out.
