Yesterday I made a card for the Addicted to CAS and The Card Concept challenges. Both have butterflies as their inspiration.
I finally did the smooshing technique using acetate, water and Distress Inks. After the color dried, I cut the panel with Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle, and stamped the sentiment from Penny Black. The butterfly from PTI is embossed in Sparkle Black ep. I wish it showed up better in the photo. I am having better luck taking photos since we took down the big, dying pine tree in the front of the house. Now a lot more light comes in, making the photos brighter.
Thanks for stopping by. Your visits and comments are always appreciated.
