Just a quick post sharing a card I made today for 3 challenges! I made this for both the Hero Arts challenge and also for Jenny's butterfly challenge, and for the Simon Says "things with wings challenge". Geeze- I don't think I've ever made a card for 3 challenges before!
I only wish I knew what Co. the butterfly stamp is from (I got in off Ebay years ago along with many other unmounted stamps) as I just LOVE all the detail in it. Paired it up with some yummy Bo Bunny paper and tried out a new technique for making a resist background using smeared glue. Pulled out my favorite distress inks for the main image- broken china and tumbled glass.
I'm very excited to show you all something NEW I bought myself on Friday!
YUP- YOU GUESSED IT- A NEW CAR!!
I JUST LOVE IT! It's a 2010 Chevy Malibu- and it's got all the bells and whistles you could ever want - and as my hairdresser said to me last week- "go big or go home"- ha ha!! She has the same exact kind of car- imagine that?
More than anything I'm just happy to have a safe and reliable car- especially with a child now!
Have a great day all and thanks for stopping by- gotta run and make some dinner for my guys!
Hugs, Anne
