Hi Friends,  I hope you are well today. Over at  Paper Funday,   it is challenge Day, and today's challenge is "Anything Goes" but there is an Optional Twist of  "Greatful/Thankful ".    Heres my Design Team entry. I made a background using a number of distress inks and Oxides and a stencil. Then with the stencil still attached, I ran it through my Gemini, giving it a subtle embossing pattern.  You can see it better on the back of the card. Using the same colour inks, I blended some cardstock, then stamped the butterflies on.  These were adhered to some white card stock to make the butterflies pop. I stamped a "With Thanks" sentiment on some white card stock Then I added 3 little little stones in between the butterflies. Here is the card that was my inspiration. It was in Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. Thank you for joining me today, and I hope I have given you some inspiration if you have a Butterfly stamp.  Don't forget to hop on ov...

Hi Friends,  Welcome to another Cardz 4 Galz challenge Design Team entry.   Today the challenge theme is Dogs and Puppies. I had fun creating this card.  I hope you like it, and as always - don't forget to pop over to Cardz 4 Galz and share your entry with us, as we love seeing them. I started by stencilling the background.  I used Salvaged Patina for the main dots,  Peacock Feathers for the Lined dots and Twisted Citron for the dotty dots. I coloured the dogs in different ways, however, I did stick to the same pallet to give the card some overall cohesiveness, How cute are those googly eyes??? Seriously?? I cut out the sentiment, then blended a slightly larger piece of card with twisted citron distress oxide.  I will definitely be using this method again with various colours.
