My card is created on a white card base.  I used a stencil and distress inks to create the background.  I also used the same ink to create the bottom layer of my butterfly.  The top layer was cut with vellum.  I cut a vellum circle and then stamped the sentiment using the SSS Look For The Miracles stamp set.  A few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for fun.  I used all the keywords on my card:  simple, butterfly, monochromatic, circle and friendship!  Have fun!  We can't wait to see what you create!

I created my card on a white card base.  I used a piece of watercolored paper to create the main panel. 
I wet the panel with water and created the watercolored background with distress inks.  After the panel dried, I used an Avery Elle Wonky Stitches die to cut it out.  The little sunbathers are from Neat and Tangled Beach Day.  I colored them with Copic Markers and used the matching Dies to cut them out.  The sentiment is stamped in black using the same stamp set.  I added a two chevron banners and a few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  Wink of Stella was added for shine.  I added Glossy Accents on the rhino's goggles and the beach ball for shine.

 I was inspired by the black and white striped fabric on the arms of the chair and the gorgeous colors of the flowers. I wish I had a chair like this!  It is gorgeous!


My card is created on a white card base.  I use the MFT Bold Stripes cover plate to create the black striped frame.  I also used the die to cut out a white frame and used the stripes to create the pattern.  The  roses from Altenew Penned Rose stamp set are stamped on vellum and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  I colored the flowers and leaves with Zig Clean Markers.  The "hugs" sentiment was cut once in black and 3 times in white and stacked for dimension and adhered to the card.  I used Wink of Stella on the sentiment and flowers for shine.  A few sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for sparkle.

I love square cards, so I knew right away that I wanted my card to be a square.  I adore bright colors, flowers, and watercoloring so this challenge made me very happy!
My card is created on a white base.  The black square frame was cut using SSS stitched square dies.  I  created a watercolored background on watercolored paper using red, yellow and orange Peerless Watercolors.  I trimmed it with the stitched square dies, too.  I used the MFT Doddled Blooms stamp set and dies to create all the flowers, stems and leaves.  I colored them with Copic Markers.  Some were adhered with dimensionals.  Keep Smiling was stamped in black Memento ink.  Wink of Stella and clear sparkling sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for shine.
