Bella and the Butterfly



Craft Your Passion Challenges has a anything goes challenge this week. I made this card for the challenge using a elements stamp by Lazar Studio Werx called Bella and a mesh background stamp by Stamping Up.

To colour the image I layered many layers of distress ink and then used the spritz and flick technique from the Tim Holtz’s Chemistry 101 online class to give the card some interest. I like the way the water plays with the inks on the paper.

My ribbon was not quite the right colour so I used some of my inks to dye it to coordinate with my card.
 

I am also entering this card in the Crafty Ann’s Challenge Blog # 67- It’s a Girl Thing.

Thank you for stopping by.
