Yesterday, I must have been in holiday mode, really didn't do too much at all, but did manage to get into the craft room and create and this is one of the cards that I created.

Taking some Layering Paper from Hero Arts and trimming to form a card, then inking up the Daisy Outline Pattern stamp with Soft Pool ink and stamping the front of the card. Next, trimming a tag like form of card stock out of white card stock, adhering it to some left over Layering Paper and adhering to the front of the card. Staying with more white card stock, I took one of the Butterflies from the Antique Engravings stamp set and stamped 3 butterflies onto the card stock, colouring each of them in with my PrismaColor Pencils and trimming them out. Taking each butterfly and adhering them to the white tag using Glossy Accents, finally, adding white gel pen to the centres of the Daisy's on the card front and stamping a sentiment from the Type stamp set.
Here is a closer look at the card.

If you are looking to purchase Prismacolor pencils, it is so worth investing into the larger set of 72, I started out with 24 set but found that the range was a little limiting, although a great starting point, but if you have the money to invest 72 is a much better set with a lot more range of colours, especially the shading ones.
Okay before I leave you for the day, I just want to send out a little reminder that you have until Wednesday night 11pm (Australian Time) to enter the giveaway that I am having.
Alright, I am off to hang out some washing, as my washing machine is singing away to me, so that means the load has finished..
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs
