As alot of you know I am now up in London in readiness for Ally Pally this weekend,
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLL {sorry i'm a wee bit excited to see all my pals}
But b4 I left I did manage to make my entry for the following challenges
Country View Crafts Challenge with their 'Butterflies' theme and
IndigoBlu Forever 21 Challenge with their 'Words & Phrases' theme
I've used one of my prize stamps from IndigoBlu 'Elizabeth Bennet' and coloured her with copics.
My first colouring attempt at the larger flowers wasn't quite up to par so I stamped them out again, and when I was happy with the colours I cut them out, mounted then on top with some foam mount which added a nice dimension to the overall look.

I also did the same with the butterflies although the teeny tiny butterfly was cut from paper at some point and was randomly found on the floor the day I was making the card....spooky!
The wording is also an IndigoBlu stamp from their 'little voice' set, stamped onto a tag and then mounted onto a nestie die-cut shape, as was the main image. Don't ask me the names as they have all gone clean out of my head!

If you are attending Ally Pally you will find me lurking at the PaperArtsy stand with my good buddy Gillian and the rest of the #PATWITS so if ya see me do stop, introduce yourself and say Hi, I love to meet fellow craft folks xo
I hope to get lots of photo's so will be back to share them some time after the weekend.
Till then...Stay Inky

what a lovely stamp Nicky...this beautiful...lovely colours. will see you on staurday!!
Gorgeous card! See you at the weekend xxx
What a gorgeous make Nicky, LOVE it! That stamp is gorgeous and I love the way you have done the flowers and butterflies, - well worth the extra effort, it really gives dimension to the piece!!
Hope you have loads of fun at AP, say hi to Gilly and I am feeling quite jealous...... Looking forward to the photos!!
This is beautiful Nicky. I was very tempted by that plate when browsing last week but decided to wait for Doncaster show. Your Copic colouring is lovely but going wrong the first time was maybe a 'happy accident' because the interest and dimension now is a lovely finishing touch.
Like Astrid I am feeling very jealous of you all being at AP this weekend. My three best buddies are having an overnighter too (which I turned down because of the cost) so I'm doubly sad :-(

Such a delicious card - the image looks amazing with all those fab dimensional butterflies fluttering around, and I love the sentiment on the embedded tag!
