Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Close to Cocoa, Taken with Teal and Very Vanilla.
Dad called and needed a birthday card for the lady who helps with the free lunch program at out church. (Dad and I usually run the program, but I'm babysitting my sister's children this week! OMGosh...Where's the Tylenol????? Did I mention that Speedy the Cat is hiding on the top of my stampin' shelf in my office???He is begging me to KENNEL the kids just like our dogs!!!LOL
Before you send me HATE emails, this is SPEEDY THE CAT, not ME talking! He's chattering away up there! He hasn't stopped fussing since they got here!
I stamped the background in VersaMark and embossed in Very Vanilla. Next,I added color by sponging on Close To Cocoa to help POP the vanilla.
The butterfly was stamped in Memento Rich Cocoa and colored in with SU! markers. I used an aqua painter to blend the colors.

Hysterical, love that crazy cat story. I miss having a kitty. Since everyone is allergic, I have a Chihuapillon, closest dog I could get to a kitty but he thinks he is a cat and can meow on command. LOL
BTW, the card is superb

Oh Faith, you did it again. Where do you find the time this week to do such beautiful work. I love your card and the watercolouring is gorgeous as usual.....Love how you captured the colours of the challenge so beautifully. I dont know whether you added colour to that beautiful pearl or not, but it certainly matches that gorgeous ribbon.....
