Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Real Red, Kraft, Chocolate Chip.
I stamped the background with Basket Weave. The butterfly was stamped on European Watercolor paper and colored with SU! markers. I used an aqua painter to blend the colors. Next, I cut it out and adhered it with pop dots to the focal base.
Yesterday was Markie's first day back to school. Fifth graders change classes, and he is NOT happy about that! His class has 39 children and they ALL rotate together. Sounds great, right? Not really, as the entire class suffers the consequences for any one child's actions...So, of course ALL the trouble makers are in his class! Markie said he's fed up with having the SAME 3 Bad Boys in his class every year. He announced at dinner that he wants to have a "face to face" with his principal to discuss this situation! LOL Can you imagine?
