Lost for words

Time for another postcard swap on UK Stampers. Our only constraint this month is "no words".

I had a bit of a Darkroom Door fest on this one and it just sort of grew without any real plan, hence the fact you can see the background through the butterfy wings as there's no masking going on or anything - I decided to just go with it! I think it's probably OK for a late summer vibe!

 Stamps (all Darkroom Door)
Woodgrain background 
Carved Flowers
Wings
Foliage

 Paper: Smooth white

 Ink:
Pumice Stone Distress ink by Ranger
Onyx Black Versafine by Tsukineko

 Other:
Diarylide Yellow and Orange Pan Pastels
Blue, Intense Blue and Olive Green pencils
Uni Posca white pen
Krylon Matt sealer

Deadline for swap entries is the 25th of the month so if you fancy a low commitment swap that gets you some handmade happy mail (just make one card to get one card in return) why not come and join us?

Thanks for stopping by!

    Gorgeous card, Joanne! I like the background showing through the elements, and the colors are perfect for late summer.

    These carved flowers by Godelieve are on my wish list and I love what you've done with them. The yellow & blue complement each other beautifully.
