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!
ReplyDeleteJust 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
