#46 Butterflies + I is for Inks

Welcome back to my Butterfly Challenge.

Winners results for #45  are in the post below

Each challenge will  be a different letter of the Alphabet.

It will always be Butterflies but with the addition

of an item/theme beginning with a chosen letter.

The twist is that my Guest Designers

will choose which letter goes next and I will supply the theme.

They will also be commenting on your entries. 

Well we are down to the last 3 letters

in this current butterfly theme.

(#47 will be a double billing)

but for  today we have 

#46 Butterflies + I is for Inks.

So I would like to see coloured inking somewhere on your project.
ie. Stamped image inked using coloured inks, or an inked background or distress inks to colour your image.

I'm  delighted to introduce you  to my next Guest Designer

Please Welcome

Lia

(winner of  #41)

My name is Lia van Bruggen – Vreman and I am a crafter as long as I can remember and I love several kind of crafts like cardmaking, cross stitching and stitching embroideries on cards, drawing/painting, etc.

Several years ago I designed my own workshops in painting on fabric, glass, wood etc. and teached groups of crafters. That was big fun for more than 12 years.

Also since 20 years I am a textwriter for the editorial staff of several Dutch Craftmagazines (look at the sidebar of my blog) and sometimes I make cards and other crafts (also for kids) to be published.

It’s very nice work and often I see the new products before you can buy them in shops!

I love blogging and discovering ideas from other crafters, because everybody has her/his own style.

And I think you always can learn from each other!

Here is Lia's inspiration for you.

This is what Lia has to say about her card.

I stamped the background with the ‘I love Lace’ stamp from Stampin’Up! and used VersaMark ink.

Done that, I rubbed Distress Ink ‘Tea Dye ‘all over and used Vintage Photo on the edges.

I distressed the edges with a paper distresser.

The pink dies are from Marianne Design.

I hope, you like my card! I love different styles, and this time I made a vintage one.

Please be sure to visit Lia on her own blog to see and read

more details.
