Winged Things

That's the current theme for October over at Crafty Individuals challenge blog , and here is my entry(with just 3 days to spare)    



I've used the smaller butterfly from THIS set as well as THIS image , to create my ATC, and as I was photographing it I realized I had made it in "landscape" form, which is most unusual for me... 
I started by stamping the butterflies onto an ATC sized (3.5"x 2.5") kraft coloured card, using black Archival ink, I then stamped "once upon a time" onto the same colour card and trimmed slightly smaller than the ATC, and stuck it into place with some foam tape for dimention.     I inked the edge of the card by running the stamp pad directly around all edges and I stamped the tiny butterfly from "once upon a time" a couple of times onto scraps of kraft cs, trimming the images closely and sticking them down with white glue, adding some KG (chrystallina) as a finishing touch.
I love the combination of black on kraft, don't you?    
My apologies if you have come around to visit me recently, I haven't been able to share any new work as my computer was playing up, but it's all good now thanks to my BIL who worked some magic (new monitor and added memory!)       I'm slowly catching up, and I hope to visit you soon : )
In the meantime, thanks for coming over, I hope you enjoyed your stay...
