Another birthday Butterfly

Hi There,

I had intended this for several challenges that were CAS types...and my card so got away from me.  Fortunately, the HLS July Watercolor Challenge calls for blue as an optional twist.

Thanks for stopping by!

Background Scramble

Another scramble at the Hero Arts Flickr Group, they always make for a good kick in the mojo department.  LaVon was our hostess this time and she tasked us with creating a background.

I used the Classic bloom Hero Arts stamp along with a sentiment from the very versatile Many Everyday Messages set. White heat embossing, brusho's for a messy look and to give it a bit of structure I made a round card mimicking the flower shapes.I used two dies from MFT,and one from Sizzix. It's a bit of whimsy.

Thanks for stopping by, and hugs if you leave a comment!

PS-- I'll be hosting the next scramble at the hero arts Flickr group on March 4th at noon eastern standard time. If you have Hero Arts stamps, dies, or stencils stop by and play along. My winner gets a crafty prize from me, and a second winner gets a digi stamp from Hero Arts.


Edited to Add this to the Happy Lil Stampers Watercolour Challenge with the option of Dies. Both the card and the banner are die cut.

HLS January Challenges

Here goes a bit of reaching, I know.   I have one card that I am entering to all four of the HLS January challenges.  HLS Watercolor challenge - Optional Twist Stencil, HLS Mixed Media Challenge - Layers, HLS Anything Goes with Dies, and HLS January CAS Challenge - Stencil.   I think it is possible to put them all together.

The Altenew flower is colored with watercolors by way of the Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens.
The background is lightly stenciled using Tim Holtz' Burlap stencil and some antinque linnen distress ink.
My sentiment is the handwritten hello die cut from WPlus9 and it is layered on the focal panel which is then layered on the card base.

It's my first time playing in most of these challenges, I love that there are several weeks for you to get your project done.  A week or 5 days just seems to fly by before I get to a challenge these days.
