Faded Butterflies

 

As Autumn approaches I love to see the butterflies, 

with their dusky faded colours, flitting around the 

buddleia. By the time I post this the flowers will 

also have faded, leaving the rust brown seeds.

This is where I took my inspiration from for this months challenge 

at 

THE CRAFTY ADDICTS

I have treated myself to the (not so ) guilty pleasure

that is 

The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady.

(I got mine from Hobbycraft on a 3 for 2 deal)

I don't have the entire collection (yet),

but I do have enough pieces to create with.

I stamped and coloured a faded purple leaf design

onto some natural Kraft card...

stamped and coloured this gorgeous butterfly on 

another piece of the kraft card and layered onto 

some of the stunning papers.

Then I added a simple layered tag, and a shimmery 

layer to the butterfly with a Glittershine pen
