Hello Friends and Happy Saturday!
Well, we have finally 'dug out' from our recent 11" of snow but now it's too cold (single digits) to do much of anything outside so I'm just hanging out in my crafting cave playing with paper, ink, stamps & dies!
So, my BFF Diane (Nellie's Nest), is on a new design team for a relatively new challenge blog. This is only their 2nd challenge so I thought I'd best get busy and create something to show her my support. This new challenge blog is called Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges.
Their challenge theme is: Anything Flies (goes) with a twist of PINK & BLACK.
Here's what I came up with.
I just received my order from Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply where I purchased a few pads of 6x6 paper and I thought this pink panel from the Craft Consortium Ink Drops Candy pack would work perfectly for today's card.
I took the liberty of using a black fine tip marker and outlined around some of the 'ink splotches' on the pattern. I then die cut THREE panels of the Memory Box Fairyland Butterfly (99078) and glued them together for dimension. A birthday sentiment was added along with a few Pink Nuvo Crystal drops and Viola ... ready to go!
Challenges to share in:
Watercolor Wednesday Challenge - All About Occasions
Di's Digi Challenge - Use Red and/or Pink (I chose Pink)
Thanks for taking the time to stop by today.
Hope you have a fabulous weekend ahead!!
Stay safe & healthy!
As always . . .

Oh wow those are gorgeous papers, I thought you did a bit of alcohol inking, I love how you used your black pen on them, the butterflies are so pretty against it!
ReplyDeleteI am with you, the best thing to do is stay inside and create on these cold days!
You gave that paper a whole different twist and it looks very cool! I have one pad and so far have reeled myself in from buying MANY more. Love the colors in this one. It's a pretty backdrop for your fluttering butterflies!
ReplyDeleteThe black penwork on your background was a smart idea. Nice card. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a striking card, love how you outlines some of the background, really makes the design pop. Thankyou for playing along with Watercooler Wednesday, Cathy x
