Card 17 - Life Be Like A Wildflower

I did this card with 2 challenges in mind. I've not really participated in any challenges before so this can be considered my first. The first 'challenge' is from Papertrey Ink's Make-It-Monday #33: Frosted Images

I didn't have any PTI's inks, I made do with whatever I had on hand and needed a little extra work done. As my inks are mainly dye inks, they dry faster and are probably not as juicy as pigment inks or PTI's inks. I had to work directly from the white ink pad as an additional step. However, I enjoyed the process and getting my fingers inky.

I'm also participating in the Young Crafters Unite Challenge #2: Envelope To Match. I do decorate my envelopes when the occasion arises. Anyhow, I thought it will be fun to also try it out this challenge and get back on some crafting.

  1. So pretty. I also love that you shaded around the edge of your card stock. It added extra depth to the card. I'm going to try this technique today.
