This was one of the 'Angelic' swaps that I was in - there are 12 people to each book and there were 6 books all up - I signed up for 3 books - 36 pages were more than enough for me! I bought some beautiful unmounted butterflies from a local craft shop - these were actually designed by one of the girls in the 'Angelic' swap - well done Linda, I just love them! I stamped my lady onto acetate and coloured her with a tombow pen and then attached it to white card. I then cut a slit into her back (she was very brave!) I stamped and embossed the wing onto vellum with white embossing powder and cut it out - I also coloured it with the same pen and placed the wing into the slit so it looked right. I used some fantasy film on the background - see if you can find it - I think it is camera shy! I white embossed images onto the corners of the green paper, added a flourish that I cut from purple shimmer paper and added the flower in the corner with a silver button brad. I used tiny little diamontes that mum gave me next to the words which were a purply/green colour and matched really well. The back of each page had to be decorated as well - so I used the same stamp but did a simplified version on the back with my details - There was quite a bit of embossing on this one and normally I don't emboss at all - so it was nice getting back to what enticed me to start stamping all those years ago!July 9, 2008
