Lace and butterflies

Whenever I see the Hero Arts Lace Frame stamp I always want to use it and here I have inked it up with Forest moss distress ink and added a newly found vintage photo which I love.



During the summer holiday in Spain last year I had made loads of butterflies and shells from scraps of paper to use when needed, as can be seen here:


But I have used them all and given some away - so I am looking forward to stamping on lots of new scraps soon to make a new pile for the weeks to come... can't craft without butterflies!

    I'm going to copy your idea of stamping butterflies and seashells on my scraps and bits of paper! I love the thought of having them on hand when needed or of sharing them! Seashells and butterflies are my two favorite motifs!!! Thanks for sharing!

    Your card makes me think of an old nostalgic picture album. I love the "antique" colors and that image is perfect for the card. Gorgeous!
    How clever of you to use all your scraps for butterflies. Looking at the picture of them they are all beautiful!

    Summer holiday in Spain! That sounds so romantic! Need to make that happen so that perhaps I can make breathtaking cards like this one! And yes, I am one of the lucky people to have received your wonderful butterflies and sea shells, and it is a brilliant idea to use up scraps! Thank you for always being so inspiring!
