Butterflies In Flight

This card was made as a result of me just playing around.  I stamped the butterfly image from Dare2BArtzy's "Tangle Jumpstart" with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I colored them with Copic markers, and added some shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella pen.

The background is where the playing really started.  I colored a layer of the background with a Copic marker, took a Q-tip and flicked Copic Colorless Blender fluid onto the card, randomly.  Then I added some dots, big and small blobs of ink with Copic markers.  I then took the Q-tip and dabbed on some white acrylic paint.

Framed with black cardstock, finishing touch a button tied with twine.

I had fun with it.  That's all that matters, right?

Springtime Flower

I thought I'd share this CAS card today in an effort to get spring to come here and stay.  The flower image is from Dare 2B Artzy, a local stamp company based in the Columbus area.  I got some goodies from their booth this past weekend at the Memories Expo, and I must say that I really liked coloring this flower.

The flower image is from the Dare 2B Artzy stamp set "Tangle Jumpstart".  I stamped the flower with Memento Tuxedo Black image onto Neenah Solar Crest Cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.

The patterned paper strip is from my drawer of scraps, along with what is becoming my signature button with Baker's Twine finishing touch.

Happy Spring!  Have a wonderful week!
