The Lulupu Team  sent me this set as my Winning Prize for Challenge #11 – My Mum, My World at Lulupu. For the cards, I have used my Distress Inks, Cheery Lynn Dies, EK Success Punch. For my card #1 I have used the resist stamping technique, die cutting & punch craft. For card #2  I have fussy cut the  butterflies and used the over -lapping stamping technique .

I hope you all like the way I have used  it. I loved inking those beautiful butterflies!!
