Whilst I was rearranging my stamps last week I came to a few of Sheena Douglas stamps that had not been used, so I thought I should give them an airing. These stamps are silhouette stamps and really easy to use. I had some folded card at the ready and decided to stamp directly on to the card, very brave I know, as it leaves no room for mistakes. For the background I used Distress inks in Dusty Concord, Stormy Sky, Tumbled Glass for the sky area and Bundled Sage and Forrest Moss for the bottom half of my card. The little butterfly stamps were also from another of Sheena's sets and those were stamped with Dusty Concord.
The large butterfly I painted and crackled it ( sorry the picture does not show it) I added a few tiny pearls to them all and I really enjoyed the making of this card as it made me use my inks and stamps again.
Most of my recent cards are using Dies, and I love doing that along with making my flowers. So No flowers or Bows on this one. I hope you all have a love day whatever your doing. I'm off to sort out more of my stamps. Watch this space. Hugs Rita xxxxx

Beautiful Rita. I love how you've created a lovely peaceful scene with your inks and stamps.
I hope the brighter weather you're having reaches us soon. It's been horrendous for several days now and the rain has been terrible here today. Not looking forward to walking the dogs in a wee while!

Oh, Rita - that's so pretty, with a real feeling of Spring about it. The blended colours in the background are so beautiful, and you know I'm a sucker for hedgerow and meadow flowers, so those silhouettes are just perfect in my book. And the butterflies are lovely too... Good luck with the rest of the stamp-sorting - hope it leads to more happy discoveries like this!

This really is lovely Rita.. I am not that brave I'm afraid!! The silhouette stamps are gorgeous. Hugs Christine xx
Rita, your bravery paid off! This is so lovely, and that is one pretty stamp set. Especially loved your beautiful butterfly. TFS & glad you are having a better weather day. We're getting some snow flurries. Whoopee! (NOT!) Hugs
This is so gorgeous, you are so brave stamping straight onto the card Rita, but then you are a very talented lady. If it was me I would be certain to make a mistake before the finish.

Good Evening Rita, what a gorgeous card, wonderful shades of purple and the images are beautiful.
Well done for stamping onto the card, very brave, hugs Kate x
Oh Rita what a stunner! The background is amazing, I love how the sky and the ground merge, there is a real glow there like a sunrise or something. The stamps are totally beautiful too! I think you should keep tidying those stamps lol, they bring some amazing artistry to your work, LOVE this!
Just a gorgeous card! Love the inking on the background and think you should do more one-layer-cards! This one is great! Have a creative week, Gerrina
I love your little summery scene, hopefully a promise of the warmer weather to come. Lovely colours and stamping Rita. xx
What a fabulous card Rita. The purple and black is so pretty together. No bow or flowers on this one still makes a pretty card.
Hugs....Leanne

Sorry I thought I had left a comment on this beautiful card. Did think we were in for a bit better a day first thing. Oh how wrong could I have been, it's raining again. Hazel xx
Hi Rita,
what a really super card. I love all that inking and stamping. Superb designing as always.
My DH was taken into hospital the other day, but thankfully is out again. It is just so scary when you have to call and ambulance for them.
I do hope you and your hubby are keeping well.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Oh wow Rita this is absolutely beautiful, the scene you have created here looks amazing, a truly wonderful creation.
