CAS208, Imagination Takes Flight

Photo Details

Poster: k dunbrook

hi there,
Here is my card for the CAS challenge today inspired from a quote:
"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."
Well my imagination did take flight when I got out my Distress inks and started to play. I created the bkg. by rubbing the blue Distress ink pads onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with water and then put the paper through the ink. When it was dry, I stamped in the circles, musical notes and the sentiment. I had a piece of the bkg. left over so stamped it with sheet music first then overstamped the butterfly and cut it out so I could pop dot it onto my card.
Hope you like it and thanks so much for looking.

The background you created is stunning and the black butterfly looks so striking placed on it!

Love how you make 'sloppy' look so good! I love distress inks, and your card is a great sample of how fun they are.
