Happy Friday! Today I made a card for the Embellish Butterflies Color Challenge during naptime. I wanted to play with my new Hero Arts Metal Flourish Cling stamp and this is the result:
I used high quality watercolor paper for that background, spritzed some distress ink with water and layed my paper into it, turning it around and around. I then dried it with my heat gun and stamped the Old Letter Writing Background. Finally I stamped that Metal flourish. I didn't use much Kraft, but I hope my twine counts:
The butterfly punch is Martha Stewart and the pearls are Prima Marketing. Ok, off to eat our selfmade Pizza! Have a great day and thanks for visiting!
Hugs,
Vanessa

Oh, VANESSA! You craftilicious wonder! This is so elegant, so, kind of mysterious and inviting! I have a friend who is not well right now + she has a dark sense of humor - THE inviting mystery in this piece would be perfect for her! {I may have to be inspired by this beautiful creation!} Awesomeness, FRIEND!
Just gorgeous Vanessa! I love your distressed background - such a beautiful effect on the watercolour paper, and I love your note hanging on the gatepost - what a great idea! Kate x
Love how you hung the "get well" sign--so clever! Beautiful take on the challenge colors! Love this!
Love this card. Vanessa. Envy you with the goodies. I really like the water color effect and the soft green color.
Have a nice weekend.
Absolutely beautiful and calming, love the pearls.
Your Background is FA dear and that black butterfly with the message is soo cute....very nicely done dear..LG, MNK
In my book, that twine would totally count in as Kraft! I love the concept behind this design of using the note on a gatepost and your background is fabulous!
Have a super weekend!
