Pink is not a colour I use a lot of but I really enjoyed this challenge.  I used 10mm MDF board for the base.  The size is 31cms x 31cms approx.  The board was painted distressed and then stamped directly onto.  On the centre square, with the photo on, I used a piece of pretty paper.  The butterflies have been stencilled on using dimensional paint.  I have coated the board with 3 coats of Oritas spray varnish to seal it.

The idea for this board came from some old window frames in the garden.  I was thinking squares, distressed and then adding the colour pink into the mix.

Just as I was taking this photo this morning a honey bee decided to land on the flower.  Obviously wanted to get in on the action.

The Crafty Individual Stamps I used are CI285, CI309, CI304, CI306, CI170 and CI017.

I also used bird cage  and Lace (bottom left corner) – Chocolate Baroque.  Some swirls, borders and flowers by others.

Talking about bird cages.  Crafty Individuals have just introduced some super new stamps to their range.  One of which is a lovely bird cage.  Link on the sidebar.

I’m off to try and persuade Freddie to make me a square frame for this.  I spotted some old pallets, behind the window frames, which will do just nicely.   I’ll take him a cuppa and butter him up! LOL!

Best Wishes Florence.
