today do whatever makes you happy.....

Hello there. It's a break from kraft card today but I promise you there is more to come :).

This card is all worked on the front of the base card. Although it looks like I have matted and layered, it is all done with masking.

So I started by masking an area on an A6 card with a post it note. I then inked the background with distress inks (abandoned coral, mermaid lagoon, twisted citron and fossilized amber) using brushes.

I then stamped the 2 opposing corners with a corner stamp and black archival ink.

Then I removed the post it note and stamped the sentiment in the centre. I really love this sentiment and for me crafting makes me happy so I was doing just that.

I then stamped the butterfly and the blossoms again in black archival ink. I then coloured the butterfly with the same colours of background and then went over it with the clear wink of stella pen to add a bit of subtle bling.

Finally I went around central panel with a black micron pen.

All the stamps are by Sheena Douglass and they were a freebie in a magazine.

And voila! I hope this time i will not have problems with the challenges...... Theresa xx
