When it comes to card making, one thing is for certain, I struggle with one layer cards and in keeping it simple. I just have to add stuff!!!
So this weeks AAA Cards challenge was just that, a challenge for me. That is one of the things I love about creating though is to have to think outside of my own box. My card base is watercolor paper. I love the thickness of it along with the texture. The sentiment is a stamp from Printworks.
Since I am a huge fan of stencils, that was what I reached for to start my card. Just inking portions of it. Next I stamped three different butterflies from Clearly Besotted with black ink. I did emboss them with clear embossing powder because I like what that adds to a design. To finish it off, I gave it some dots of black embossing paste that I added through a stencil.
Be sure to play along at AAA Cards.
