Hello there! 

It’s high time I get back into some challenges, so today I looked up:

MFT’s Card Challenge 401 and it’s another great one that’s easily adaptable. 

Here’s my card:

The background is some simple oxide ink through a stencil (linked below), with some wonderful layered butterflies as the focal images. 

I don’t have the matching dies, so I fussy-cut them out myself. They were pretty easy! 💪🏼

I popped the butterflies up to make it look like they were floating. 

Such a simple, but striking card, no? 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks for stopping by! 💋

Supplies:

Stamps (MFT): beautiful butterflies, Anything But Basic Birthday Wishes

Stencil: TCW Onion Skin 

Inks: Ranger Oxide Inks

  

This weekend was all about organization for me but I'm glad that I got a chance to play along with the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I got three new sets of Tim Holtz distress crayons today (sets 7/8/9) so I thought I would use those as a feature in today's card. 

  

On the left you can see that I just scribbled a bunch of the distress crayons on to the already embossed piece of watercolour card stock. To activate the crayons I used a few spritzes of water and a baby wipe to move the colours around and blend them. 

 

Thank you for stopping by and have fun on the blog hop!!!

Technique Tuesday came out with some really cute stamps at CHA and of course I decided to play with the ones I could colour! 

This is from the set called Favorite Human featuring a couple robots and some silly sentiments to match! 

This is pretty standard Copic colouring, but I did the background with Distress Inks. 

Before colouring the robot I cut out a mask and placed it over the image so I could sponge on some pretty pink and red inks (Festive Berries, and Victorian Velvet). 

Thanks for popping in! 

Don't you love husbands? 

They give such helpful and constructive comments.

When asked about today's card husband said "Intense." 

....thanks. 

Ok. There's a lot of stuff on it, but I was playing with this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch and I couldn't stop! 

Most of the products are Simple Stories except for the deer which is a Tim Holtz stamp I love to use. 

Anyway. I'm decorating my sad little Chinese Christmas tree tonight and longing for hugs from my son... Only three weeks till I get to go home!!

(Sad little Christmas tree...)
