Hello..hello friends, Oh my it’s busy. How about you?? Last night I was updating my computer into the wee hours of the night. Takes forever!! or it’s me!! Anyway it gave me some time to play with the new distress inks. LOVE the new colors. I created all of these backgrounds with the same three inks. Same background stamp too! |
I already had the butterfly finished months ago with lots of glossy accents on the entire butterfly. It was easy to add some pink, purple and green to blend with my background. I used this heavy duty water color paper that is my fav. |
It’s cool how the wings wrap on the edge of the card. |
I love this sentiment! You might notice that I colored the first four letters with a white gel pen and began to taper the white for a unique look. I hope you like it. Now the winners are : for the Simon Says Die cut as seen in this post and the winner for some supplies as see in this post
Congrats Rebecca & Glennis..if I dont’ hear from you ladies I will send you an email. |
