Hi everyone! We have a new April Challenge going on now at Once Upon A Time! This card was designed by me, & I named it: Fuzz E. Bear - Bear Hugs He is a super cute bear, sending off a card. There's even a little teeny spider with a web underneath the mailbox. :) I asked my hubby if he thought this looked too much like a valentines design, and he assured me that it would work anytime of the year, which I happen to agree. Here it is.
There is a new Challenge going on over at Once Upon A Time, and I am on the design team! :)
The Theme for March is: Based on the book Harold and the Purple Crayon
For my image I am using Butterfly Kisses by BoBunny
I couldn't decide on which image to use so I thought butterflies remind me of Spring, and why not a purple butterfly!
Ingredients to create my card:
Distress Crayons by Tim Holtz in colors of Festive Berries, Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, Rusty Hinge
I used the crayons as a base for water coloring my butterflies, it worked perfectly, using water brushes. When it was dry, I brushed on a light coating of Stickles Glitter Gel - Moon Dust, (which is difficult to see in the photo) take my word for it, the moon dust looks so pretty!
Then I got out my Distress Oxide Sprays in Saltwater Taffy & Salvaged Patina and held my breath as I spritzed little dots onto my card... with a bits of washi tape to mask off my butterflies I think it came together beautifully.
Thank you so much for dropping by my blog today, and I hope to see you at the Challenge!!
