Butterfly Field!

Hello All! I hope you had a fabulous day...already my week seems incredibly long, but after tomorrow night at work, I will be finally on 2 days off work...so looking forward to just kicking back and relaxing.

Thankfully tonight I have a card in reserve to share with you all, one that I made the other week when there seem to be no mojo...this was one of the cards that I created when finally the creativity got flowing again.

I used a stamp that has sat in my craft room for sometime, yet another one of those stamps that I have plenty off..LOL.

100_6891


I had fun with techniques on this card, by inking up the stamp with Broken China, Peeled Paint and Vintage photo, spritzing it with pearlised water and stamping onto water colour paper, heat setting. Matting the water coloured paper onto white card stock and adding it to a trimmed Eggshell note card, that was stamped with Friend Definition in Soft Sand ink. I added twine and a sentiment to the base of the card to complete.

I love getting inky sometimes, so good for the soul....

Alrighty, pretty quick post for you tonight...needing to kick back now and watch some TV then head for bed for some much needed catch up on sleep.

Hope you have a wonderful night!

Hugs
