IC599: Stampin' Up! Butterfly Basics
I sat down to stamp today and yet again, felt lost on what to make. I decided to go back to where I started, Splitcoast Stampers. I haven't been over there for a while, but there are always great challenges. Today's challenge is the Inspiration Challenge. There's a link to a Pinterest board of gorgeous baskets to take inspiration from. I chose this basket and wanted to use the Butterfly Basics stamp set. I am in a mood to use butterflies and cats. I actually NEED some cat stamps, so I'm on the lookout for some cute ones. :) I have a lot of cat loving friends I like to make cards for but not that many choices to use.
The background is the Watercolor Wash background from Stampin' Up! I find it fun to play around with that one to see what looks you can get. I inked it with Smoky Slate, stamped off, and then sprayed lightly with water before stamping on watercolor paper. I liked the look. I used that same method on the fern stems.
I'm off to figure out dinner. Jason finished up Laila's playset today, so he's tired. I haven't felt the best, but I think I can handle cooking some hot dogs. :)
Have a great weekend. zIC
