Black, White, and a splash of......

                                 PINK!! 

Here is my card for the current Play Date Cafe Challenge #91 : to create a card using the colors black-white- and a splash of one other color.

                                    This is what I created for the challenge.

                        
I used my Hero Arts envelope background stamp for the base and some new stamps I just picked up at Michael's. The sentiment is from Studio G and the flower stamp is from Inkadinkado. I did a bit of paper peircing around the 2 corners for a bit of texture and interest. The flower is colored using a Marvy marker and watercoloring using the distress ink color worn lipstick.

I also am including  a picture of all of these great sentiment stamps I just got at Michael's. I love the variety and the fun shape of the font- plus you can't beat the price of $1.00 per stamp- yeah I love a good bargain!!  I"ll be using these sentiments on many upcoming creations. 

Thanks so much for stopping bye and have a great day all!

Something old......something new!

I came across this card I made a long time ago that has been sitting up on top of a very tall bookcase but fell over so I didn't see it for quite some time (tells you how often I dust.....yikes)  Do you do that too? Make a card and then let it just sit there forever...........geeze I have to get mailing out some of these cards!

Anyways.....I happened to pick up this Hero Arts digi butterfly I colored a week or 2 ago and looked at the 2 of them and thought to myself  "Well- would ya look at that- they are pretty much the same color.....I bet this butterfly would look great on here"!

So I put together something old and something new to come up with a card that I promise I will actually mail to someone!

I believe the foilage stamps are by Inkadinkado, and I sponged several shades of oranges and yellows around the outer edge. I came back and added some white and light brown highlights to the foilage. The digi butterfly is colored using Ranger distress inks and a few markers! Did a bit of paper piercing down the side, added a few brads, and that was it!

** I don't know if any of you like to read mystery/thrillers but I can't stop reading books by Greg Iles, his writing is fantastic and I've read about 5 of his books over the last month! Check him out- he's superb!

Thanks for stopping by!    Anne
