I started today's card by inking up my cardstock with Distress Inks in a rainbow of colors. Then I stamped the two butterflies from the Blue Skies stamp set all over the background with white ink. The sentiment is from the same set. Then I added the same ink treatment to a smaller piece of cardstock and then stamped with the All Aflutter Plain Jane before cutting it out and adding it to my card with dimensional foam tape. What a happy little card!
That will do it for me today.. sweetie Betty Wright is your next stop along the hop!
Take care!
