There is beauty in simplicity

So a simple make for today , using a non brown favourite distress colour of mine, tattered rose...

I just love the softness of it and yet I am so not a pinky person and yet this colour has found a way into my firm favourites list ..

So here is my simple card for today ..

I started by spritzing the card with water and then tattered rose and antique linen distress spray stains..

I then dried adding more water ...before adding some stencilled detail  using latticework stencil

I added the stencilled detail,using tattered rose distress ink, building soft layers..

I also added some stamped layers , again in tattered rose distress ink  using lattice work stamp from latticework and flourish set of Tim Holtz stamps...then added some script stamping in frayed burlap , before edging the card in walnut stain distress ink.

I completed the base of the card using seam binding, dyed with tattered rose ..

I die cut some pieces using the new wildflower thinlits, inked with tattered rose and edged wit walnut stain distress ink.

As you will see I punched some butterflies but decided not to use them in the end..

I added them to the front of the card and added a small talk sticker to complete this simple make.

  and there we have a simple  card , which could easily be made to suit any colour palette.

keep those fingers inky!
