This was what I came up with for the new challenge on Crafty Individuals http://craftyindividualsblog.blogspot.com/ blog this month.
The theme is 'Bright and Beautiful, and yeah, OK this is certainly BRIGHT!!!!!!!!!! I created a background with distressing inks and embossed areas of gold. Simply embossed 3 CI slide mounts in the cuttlebug and coloured them with the same 3 colours of ink I used for the background and added CI butterfly images, adding one on top to give dimension. I finished off by adding some die cut leaves, flowers, gems, die cut letters and plaited ribbon for the hanger. Then I thought mmmmm, what the hell am I going to do with this? 
I decided to remove the slide mounts etc and created 3 cards which are simply mounted onto vintage style papers. At least I can use them......
I decided then to re cycle the ripped paper background into a set of ATC's and overstamped it with CI assorted swirls which I just love! Created some cardboard slide mounts and added Crafty Individuals images from the Images 4 sheet, I love these they are just so classy. The words were from another CI plate of stamps which is just full of loads of tiny words. I use it all of the time, as I'm sure you'll know.Well that's it for today. I have a couple of classes ready so I'll be back as soon as I get a spare minute.....

Wow. What a shot of cheery colour you have given me this evening Sue.
Just beautiful, particularly as your art features butterflies as well.
I have recently starting stocking the CI stamps here at my studio and I am very happy with how they are taking off.
