Hello and happy Sunday. I am writing my first real time, not scheduled blog post in weeks. I got crafty today, and it felt pretty good.
First up is a card inspired by Darnell's NBUS challenge #7. I picked a stamp set that has been with me for almost 2 years, I think, without ever seeing any ink. Shame on me, right?
I also made a card using this week's Make it Monday #259: Ombre Cluster Stamping. I used Tropical Teal, Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist inks and butterfly stamps from PTI Beautiful Butterflies. The sentiment is from Verve.
Thanks for Visiting
What fun cards Joyce. I love how bright your first one and that butterfly card is absolutely gorgeous. And hooray for using NBUS.
