Mojo Monday - Friend Card using Dotty For You Paper

Hi all you wonderful bloggers out there!! I felt creative yesterday; so I created a friend a card.  I had purchased a retired stamp set from another consultant and wanted to use it.  I am in love with this stamp set.  This is the first card I have created in a long time without using my Cricut.  I didn't realize I could still do that.  Ha!!  This one was an easy one with Mojo Monday.  I love their sketches. 


I didn't get enough ink on my stamp; but I didn't have time to do it over.  I love CTMH stamps; because the words are so clear even without the proper amount of ink.  The butterfly is supposed to be different shades; but I may not have gotten enough ink on it either.  I did the best I could with the short amount of time I had to create it. 

Click on pictures for closer view.

Card - 6 1/2 x 5
Paper - CTMH Dotty For You paper packet
Cardstock - CTMH Lagoon and CTMH Colonial White

    Hi Gloria, The butterfly looks great. Just a bit distressed, like you really intended it to look! (We all have 'happy accidents'!) Love the colours. Hugs, Carol S.xx

    I actually really love the look of the stamp partially inked..I think it has such a shabby chic feel to it combined with vibrant wonderful colors. I agree, that sentiment is perfect! :)

    Thank you so much for taking the time to link up your talent and creative ideas with us at Make It Monday!

    Gloria, Love all the different colored butterflies on the side. If you hadn't mentioned anything about the image, I would have just assumed it was intentional and distressed. Thanks for sharing this on Art With No Boundaries.:)

      Thanks Chris for the compliment. I think it is meant to look that way; but I thought I just didn't get enough ink. There are several stamps with that look in CTMH stamp sets. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Have a wonderful day!!
