SFF 255 Butterflies


                     The challenge at SF&F is to make a birthday card adding butterflies
                                                          I am using a technique from a
                                                 Make and Take by Just For Fun at Stampfest





The background is a tree section paint chip  





Then the image is stamped several times and simply scribbled over with three colors using the chisel end of the markers
The images are each fussy cut 





             and assembled in such away to cover the print and /or openings on the paint chip
                     Marks Finest Papers is  going to a Weekly Top pick, from the three challenges,
                                   who gets a 25% discount and their card featured on Speedy TV. 
                                                        Join us and make a butterfly birthday card
