I've used white hammered, smooth black and yellow.


This butterfly is my all-time favourite ....EVER!
I've coloured the background with Pan Pastels.



 White linen, inked, then mounted onto black smooth card.



I bought a few new Lavinia Stamps last week, and as soon as they arrived, I popped into my craft room and made this little card. Love these new stamps.
Pan Pastel background, mounted onto black, then white linen.
So, what do you think? Bright enough??
