Lilac Festival

Where have I been?
I have guests and have been so busy I haven't had time to
visit or create for a bit.....
but I do have my post for the "Lilac Festival" challenge this week
at "Classy Cards 'n Such" to share.
I hope you will join in with us....
there is an awesome prize!

Hello Classy Friends,

This week at Classy Cards 'n Such our challenge is "Lilac Festival"

Make a paper project using lavender, purples and neutral colors.

For my challenge card, I chose to make a round shaped card.

I first cut a base from a Spellbinders basic circle die.

Then I cut my top layer using Spellbinders Heart Circles die.

I didn't stop there as I stenciled the die cut using a

Memory Box stencil "Texture Mesh"

I sponged on two colors of Tim Holtz Distress ink, 

first a lighter color "Shaded Lilac"

then came back over here and there and sponged with TH "Dusty Concord".

To sponge on my colors I used the new Tim Holtz Mini Ink Blending Tool.

I love how the background looks on this card!!

I added 3 various size butterflies using Joy! Crafts Butterfly Trio dies.
cut from the gorgeous "So Silk Fabulous Purple" 130# card stock!!

I added "Baby Pearls" purple to my butterflies.....

To finish my card, I stamped "Hello" from the JustRite stamp set "Hello Daisy"

I would love to see "you" join us in our challenge this week!!!
