Bumblebee & Butterflies

 


3 challenges inspired today's card...

Freshly Made Sketches // #FMS698 ...A sketch challenge!!  I love the boxy feel of this sketch and it worked perfectly for using up some of my very old designer papers.

Alphabet Challenge // 08AUG25 ...An ABC challenge!!  I is for INK BLENDING!!  I love blending ink to the edges on my designer papers...you will often find this technique on my cards.

Festive Friday Challenges // #FF0190 ...An "inspo list" challenge!!  From the inspo list honoring National Honey Bee Day, use 3 of the 10 elements when creating your card.  CHECK!!  I used yellow, bee, and ink blending.



Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS77 ...The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have never been used...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  These designer papers fit the "never been used" element not because they are brand new but because they were still in they 12 x 12 size (never cut) from back in my scrapbooking day.  I discovered a box of papers that had never been unpacked from our move 11 years ago, so they worked perfectly for this NBUS blog.
