Fly Away with Impression Obsession

Hello crafty people !    I hope your week is going well.   We broke a record for the hottest day on Tuesday, it was 37 Celsius & with the Humidex factor it felt like 45.  TOO hot for me.    Meanwhile Bloggers overseas in the UK & Europe are talking about the cool & wet season they are having.  I so wish we could trade some heat & sun for a little rain.  Just even it up a little and make it more pleasant for all of us :)

Today I'm participating in Impression Obsession's 'Fly Away' Challenge.    I dug out a stamp yesterday, that hasn't seen ink for a long time which has a butterfly in the middle of the image.  Another one by Leigh Hannon, it's a fun image to colour, lots of detail.

Impression Obsession Stamps:  F2267 Butterfly Round & CC018 Cover A Card Greenery
Spellbinder Dies: S4-114, S4-124

I coloured the image with Prisma Pencils & distressed around the edge with Broken China Distress Ink.   I added rhinestone & diamond stickles.   The scallop die cut and dark mat are both purple not black as it looks on the photo.  

I stamped CAC Greenery, using my IO Mega Mount on the Peacock blue card stock with Whisper Grey Colorbox Pigment Ink & embossed with Clear which gave it a rich texture.   I have a lot of CAC stamps, I love them all, but tend to use this one a lot !   The folded cardstock is quite shiny.

Well that's all for today.    One of my sisters who lives in Hong Kong, is arriving this afternoon and staying for a week.  We plan to have fun & will probably relax with an occasional Martini or glass of wine :)    I won't have the chance to craft or blog.   

Thanks for your visit.  I'll be back here in a week :)
