Thinking of You - FMS329

Howdy All!
I have for you today a card that I created a few days ago for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #329. I am just getting around to posting it today!

Here is my card:



I used an Aqua Painter and my ink pads to color in my butterfly image on Shimmery White cardstock.


I couldn't get a good pic of how pretty the shimmery White cardstock really is.


Here is the challenge:


I also did a similar card where I cut the image out, used a birthday sentiment and added some sequins.


This card has already been mailed to my niece for her birthday next week! :)

Do Something Creative - FMS327

Howdy All!
I've been very busy the past couple of weeks making swaps for Jill Olsen's Spring Event last week in St. George and getting some crocheting done! I will share some of what I have made in an upcoming post.

Today, I have a card for Freshly Made Sketches challenge #327.

Here is my card:



I realized that I use the same colors as my last card which are the colors from the Bubbles & Fizz dsp from Sale-a-bration! I love them!


I used a technique that has a few different names. I call it the Ink Smooshing technique and it makes an awesome watercolor background. So Yummy!


Here is the challenge:


Such a clean and simple sketch!
