After an exciting, busy and very tiring couple of weeks I have at last found some time to relax and make a card. I was excited by the new challenge blog that Mona Pendleton has set up called
CR84FN, its a colour challenge and they really are my favourite!! The colours this week are Yellow, Peach and Light Pink, Yummy!! I also wanted to have a go at the masking technique that Shari demonstrates so well
here.
This is my card using lots of Hero Art stamps and distress inks. The background is made using two stamps Paper Art and Letter Writing, stamped with Mustard Seed Yellow and then distressed.
I then stamped on the butterfly and with a mask made from a post-it note I stamped with Antique Brocade and then coloured with Worn Lipstick Distress ink.
The frill is cut from a spare piece of stamped paper and punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.
This is the colour inspiration, such pretty photo's!
This card is for both the
CR84FN challenge and the current
Hero Arts Challenge.
Hope to find some more time to craft over the weekend, its great to be back in the groove!

Love this card - great combo of that gorgeous background stamp and those butterflies. I'm planning some crafting time myself this weekend. Thanks for your comment about needing to unwind with paper and inks - really made me realise how much I need some down time and has helped me devise a few crafting resolutions! New year hugs, Jo x
