This card is for today's WT challenge, 'All Torn Up'. I tore, distressed, sanded, and roughed up the edges any way I could think of. I even tore the envie flap!
The butterfly is inked with Close to Cocoa and then embossed with clear EP. I used a white rub-on for the sentiment, then lightly sponged it with So Saffron to make it match better. I colored the butterfly with a dry eyeshadow applicator rubbed in ink.
The ribbon is from Michael's. My friend and demonstrator, Lisa (StampilyEverAfter), found this and loved the colors. She's right...it really matches Baja Breeze and So Saffron. Thanks Lisa!
This is my first card made with the new In Colors. I won the textured paper at our workshop (thanks again, Lisa)...whoo hoo! I am just waiting on Mr. Brown to bring me the ink.
TFL!

Friends are like the walls of a house. Sometimes they hold you up, sometimes you lean on them. But sometimes, it's enough to know they're just standing by.
