Papillon Potpourri ....

Its nice to revisit an old stamp set and one that has stayed in the current catalogue. I loved the sample card in the catalogue so much that I have reproduced it here. It is made using the "wet wipe" effect, which may need a little practise as it can make your card curl as it dries.

Here's another card I made using the sponging effect, all you have to do is dab your sponge onto your ink pad and move it on to the card in a circular motion. You can make your own little masks to create effects like the butterflies and the clouds.

 Lastly if you are a little wary of using effects, why not try this fabulous background stamp until you feel more confident (more from this stamp later)  :)
