We had an amazing response to Challenge # 39. What an introduction to hosting for Jo. It will take her until # 41 to choose her Top 3. Thank you all for your support.
For Challenge # 40 I needed my Pinflair punch. You will see why when you look at the photo:
The image I used looks as though it was painted in oils so I thought of the punch which would add a rough - oil paint - appearance to the 3D effect. I printed out many copies of the image and just kept punching out the flowers to stick on.
The two backgrounds are from MCS - Lavender Reign CD. I use the same background for the die-cut butterflies. I also used my own graphics programme to create the lilac borders and to add the sentiment.
Gems are from Hunkydory.
Here is a close up of the punching:
Please leave a comment as you pass by and perhaps even join in with our challenge. We would love to see you.

Stunning card in beautiful colours, it was well worth punching out, shaping and applying all those tiny flowers,.
ReplyDeleteStunning card aand its beautiful, you put in a lot of work into the card and with all the tiny flowers and shaping must have taken you ages.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card Carol. I always wish that we could have the lilac without the bush, as once it's stopped flowering it tend to look messy.

This is absolutely beautiful Carol. It must have taken ages to punch out all those little flowers and attach them but the overall effect was well worth the effort.

This is a stunning card Carol, I can't imagine how long it took you to make. The delicate butterflies go so perfectly. I love everything about your card.
