Kindness Matters

This one is another SAS card from Sunday.  I'm loving the crochet trim with the Comfort Cafe DSP...it's a perfect match.  I also went a little Framelits-crazy on this one, using both the Apothecary Accents and Floral Frames Collections.

Stamps:  Kindness Matters, Daydream Medallions
Ink:  Cajun Craze, VersaMark
Paper:  Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, and Cajun Craze card stock, Comfort Cafe DSP
Accessories:  Apothecary Accents and Floral Frames Framelits, Crochet Trim, Pearls, Clear Embossing Powder, Stampin' Dimensionals

Pretty Buttlerflies

One of the sets I got during Sale-a-Bration was Kindness Matters.  I'm not sure how I passed by it so many times, and I'm stunned that it didn't retire.  These little butterflies are perfect for watercoloring, so I got out my aquapainters and went to town.  I used Crumb Cake, Perfect Plum, and Elegant Eggplant for the butterflies, and added in some Always Artichoke on the flowers.  I kind of wish I had worked in some Elegant Eggplant card stock somewhere...I think that one extra color is what this card is missing.  And I should have sponged over the embossed flowers a bit, too (and yes, that's a retired embossing folder I used here...oops!)  Can you tell I'm not crazy about this card?  I think it has potential, but it just missed the mark.  I might have to try again on this one, but I at least wanted to share it!
