Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - May Challenge

Hello and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - May challenge taking place right here on my blog! I'm so glad you stopped by today and hope you decide to join in the linkup of all things crafty too! It always makes me happy to see so many of you share! Lots of fabulous entries last month so be sure to scroll down to see last month's top picks!

As always at Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday the theme is now.....................

Anything  Goes,

and instead of a challenge theme there will be a "Top Pick Twist" but nobody knows what the twist will be (not even me) until the challenge closes as it will be inspired by YOUR creations. So do link up all your new or recently created projects for a chance to be featured. Remember, you may share anything crafty, handmade by you. It doesn't have to be a card.

And here is what I made for May:

I used a new to me stamp set by Visible Image - Butterfly Effect. I spritzed some water onto Mixed Media card stock then sprinkled Brusho powders onto it. I probably should have used less powder but it had been while since I used it and forgot how little of it is needed. 

The card was quick to make. After the ink dried I stamped the circles onto the card then the butterfly onto a scrap piece of paper, fussy cut and inked with Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks. I used a Sakura white gel pen to highlight the dots on the butterflies and around the circles. 

This is only my second Visible Image stamp set I own but I really loved using it and may need to get a few more.

The Top Pick Twist from the April entries is ..... Botanicals.
