Crafting through another weekend . . .

Happy Saturday to you my friends!

As mentioned on Thursday, Michigan BFF Diane (Nellie's Nest) and I have challenged each other to participate in a couple different challenges this week just to keep things interesting!  She chose the challenge for this past Thursday (in case you missed it ... click HERE) and today I've chosen the fun challenge we are playing in.  And, that is the AAA Cards Challenge ...


This card was not only made in minutes, but I also used the 'Use a Stencil' twist.
What do you think???

Memory Box 'Butterfly Vine' Stencil, 
Tim Holtz Distress Inks and 
Picket Fence Studio Blender Brushes 
was all that was needed to make this beautiful & quick card. 

There's really not much to tell in regards to the process of creating this card.
White card stock panel,
Tape down your stencil,
Begin brushing on your inks ...

Add a final sentiment (if you want) and VIOLA!  Card complete!

Don't forget to pop over to see what Diane has created for you ... I know I'm excited to see what she has come up with ... our styles are very different one from the other but many times we draw inspiration from what the other one has created!  How Cool Is That!!!

Challenges to share in:
Time Out Challenge #158 -  Lots or a Little Purple

Crafty Calendar April Challenge - Add a Butterfly

Well, that's it for me today!  
Stay safe and healthy my friends!
We will get through this Corona Virus outbreak as long as
everyone follows the rules and watches out for friends & family.
