New Challenge over at the Stamp Man Challenge blog

Today I have the honor of hosting the fortnightly challenge over at The Stamp Man Challenge blog. I am so excited to be part of such an amazing team. This fortnights challenge theme is "Butterflies and Dragonflies" So I chose to make a little Butterfly house.

My material list is below. The house itself is made from clear acetate. I stamped the Aspects of design Christmas mesh stamp on it using Stazon Black, then cut out the door and edged it with gold foil. The door is hinged with 2 small gold jump rings. The top decorative part is made from card strips punched with the Fiskars border punch and then coated in gold foil. They are then edged around the top and bottom. 2 circles of card make up the top and bottom and are then covered with gold fiber paper. the chain is added from a bit of old jewelry and the ribbon is coloured with pink Promarker and then stamped with the words from the "On Gossamer wings Aspect of Design stamps". The Butterflies and Dragonflies are stamped onto Vellum and embossed with clear or Moonglow Angel wings EP then coloured with Promarkers. They are then cut out and the antenna are added before they are put into place around the cage. The flowers are made by running vellum through a big shot with Tim Holtz Tattered floral Die. They are then coloured with Promarkers and scrunched into place with fancy fasteners. Here is a closeup of the inside of the cage.
I love how it came out and the butterflies are somewhat translucent with the vellum. Has that inspired you for the challenge yet?
