It is time for a new challenge at House of Cards. This is a great color challenge...or if you want to use your own colors but add a butterfly--then come on over and link up with us!
Here is my card:
I used Tim Holtz distress paint Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire for the background. I rolled it over a grey piece of cardstock but there are very few spots where you see the paper beneath. I stamped a Dylusions sentiment on white cardstock. I used squeezed lemonade distress ink on it and then cut out the strips. The dots are stamps from Rubber Stamp Tapestry (I love this little stamp set!). The butterfly is a wooden one that I had floating in my stash. I painted it barnyard door red.
And the diamonds are from a stencil and translucent Wendy Vecchi paste.
So I hope that you will play along with this challenge. You can do the color challenge or add a butterfly...or do both like me! :)
Until next time my friends....you are craftier than you think! ;)
