Valentine Wishes

     We've started another new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and since we're back to the first Monday of the month, our theme is "Anything Goes."  Our wonderful sponsor this week is Lawn Fawn.  On my card, although it's rather simple, I've used Lawn Fawn papers.

      The background paper was trimmed to fit a 6" x 6" card, and then I began playing with the dies. I used scrap pieces of Lawn Fawn paper for both the butterfly cut and for the sentiment paper.  The paper for the sentiment was cut with a Gina Marie framing die, filled with tiny hearts.  The butterfly corner was done with a die from Memory Box and I carefully put back in place all the little bits which are intended to fall out.  There were a few which went astray but I simply used a black marker to fill in those open spaces in the butterfly wings.  The deep pink ribbon came from my stash and was an end-of-the-roll scrap.

     This is a pretty CAS card made to look complex with the die cut.  But look at all that open space!  :-D


      Challenges:

     It would be great if you'd come play with us this week!  We really look forward to seeing what you have to share.  Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
