Addicted to CAS has a challenge to use Chevron designs and since that is one of my favorites, I had to play along.
It was hard to decide where to start but I did pick up this little die from Reverse Confetti and it seemed just right. I had colored the paper first with Distress Stains on watercolor paper. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches.
On my desk I had this adorable butterfly that I had stamped, cut out and colored earlier and I thought it was just the way to go to keep my card CAS. The butterfly stamp and matching die is from Clearly Besotted. I just added color with Distress Stains. My card base was plain white but I just couldn't go with that so I added some various Distress Stains to that. The base of my card is not watercolor paper so this paper does take the stain inks a little differently.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)

ReplyDeleteWow ... love this design Linda. Your watercoloured background and butterfly are gorgeous together. And I love the chevron panel --- just perfect. Thanks for playing along at ATCAS and Happy Little Stampers.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Linda. Love the butterfly and the cool yellow water color wash in the background.
ReplyDeleteOH, wow, I love how this turned out. Very striking. I haven't tried using Distress Inks on regular paper in this way--will give it a go. Thanks for the inspiration!
