Friday Mashup Challenge #32


The challenge at Friday Mashup is definitely right down my alley. You were to make it girly and use your favorite techniques. Well I love flowers, doilies, flourishes and butterflies so you can't get much more girly than this card. I made it for a friend whose birthday we will be celebrating this week.

I used 2 of my favorite techniques on this card. I have decided one of my new favorite tools is the Tim Holtz ink blender tool. I used it to ink up the white doily on this card. The other technique I love it diecutting. Let's see - on this card I used a flourish diecut from MFT, Mat die cut from PTI, Flower die cut from PTI, Leaves from Stampin up and to top it off I used a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I don't think I could make a card without using a die cut of some sort.

Hope everyone has a great week and thanks to Friday Mashup for a great challenge.
