YOU make the world a better place

Hi!

I have a few cards I'd like to share with you today.  My first card includes one of the backgrounds I made recently.  

I inked my stencil with distress inks, misted with water and applied to watercolor paper. Such a fun technique.

The colors I selected are from the color challenge at Rubberdance Color Challenge.

Get Well Soon

My next card was inspired by the CAS-ual Friday Challenge and I opted for a 1 layer / butterflies / stripes card.

I colored the images with my Zigs, fussy cut the edge, and adhered the striped paper to the inside of my card.

Mark It, Stamp It

The challenge over at Mod Squad this week is to color your stamp with a marker and stamp it.  This is a fun technique and I usually use solid images for this technique.  This time I decided to use an outline stamp and watercolor the image.  

I used a selection of tombow markers and the stamp set is Stately Flowers 9 (Gina K Designs.)  

As always, thanks so much for visiting and have a great week!
