You're Beautiful

I combined three challenges for today's card: Color Throwdown, Freshly Made Sketches, and Heart2Heart (although I used a butterfly instead of "Birds or Bees" because it's all I had this far away from home).

Everything is CTMH. Here's the supply list:

• Stamps: You're Own Kind of Wonderful, Your Beautiful Self, Packages, Boxes & Tags
• Ink: Peacock and Fern (pigment)
• Paper: Enchantment Fundamentals
• Accessories: Clear Embossing Powder, MISTI stamping tool, paintbrush, foam tape

I stamped the line of hearts after the card was assembled using my MISTI. I had to press harder on the edge that was more angled because of the foam tape. That's why the hearts do that weird shadow-edged thing.  Most of the time, I'd tear the whole thing off and start over, but I kinda like it.

For the coloring, I painted with pigment ink because, again, it's all I have right now.  I dabbed a line of Fern on the edge of small bowl, wet my brush with plain water, and painted the butterfly. It gave me a mottled look instead of smooth one.

This is for a dear friend who just needed to be reminded of this simple truth today.  I know I need to hear it once in a while. How about you?

Until next time,
