Had fun making a card today for favorite challenges. I also did a Stenciled Monoprint Background technique by Lee-Anne Cross for the first time. Thank you Lee-Anne. So fun and easy. I used a Tim Holtz "Stripes" stencil with Distress Inks then spritzed with water following Lee-Anne's video exactly.
This weeks SCS's CAS372 "Love the Chips" inspired me to use this scrap butterfly that I had cut out of a Emerald Green Brushos scrap. I used my HLS Butterfly Die and cut out another thicker butterfly with my SU Coaster Board and glued to my brushos butterfly. Looks just like chip board. I outlined the butterfly with a mixed media pen and attached with Fine Tip Glue Pen. Loved how it turned out. Always fun to use scraps :-)
My card is for three more Challenges besides the CAS372 Challenge which is Linked above!
Accessories: Big Shot, HLS Butterfly Die, TH "Stripes" Stencil, dimensionals, thin tip glue pen, mixed media black pen, spritzer, paper towels, SU Coaster Board

I don't often see you in the gallery 2 days in a roll, Nancy. What a treat for me. I'm going to check out Lee-Anne's link right now. She creates wonderful art through her watercoloring. You're a quick study because this card is gorgeous and so non-conventional, which is what I really love about your cards. hugs xx
