"It's Friday And You Know The Drill"

Hip, hip, hooray friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
It's Friday and you know what that means...something quick and easy from my stash.
Before we get to that...I want you to do something for me.  Check out this special announcement...

I want to thank Ester Asbury for her invitation and her kindness towards showcasing me.

A sneak peep at something you may see when you check out my card over at http://www.cropstop.com/blog

Here is the card I'm sharing with you today.

"Change Is Beautiful"

I used a piece of Bristol smooth white cardstock, a stencil from Recollections and some wilted violet Distress Oxide ink.

The ink was applied on top of the stencil in an ombre effect going from left to right.  Next, using stamps from a Martha Stewart clear stamp set, I stamped several images from that set along with a butterfly from the Recollections stamp and stencil set.  The sentiment also came from the Recollections stamp/stencil set. Watercolor pencils were used for the butterflies and the flower in the far left corner.

Fun, quick and easy.

This card will be added to the following challenges: http://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com Anything Goes - Weeks #298-#299  and to http://www.cropstop.com/blog August Challenge – Link Party #31 .
