Here's my project I created:

Believe it or not, I went CAS!! Oh, it was sooo hard for me!! You know how much I love layers!! But I wanted to go simple for this one to highlight the sentiment. I got the inspiration for this card on Pinterest HERE. I taped off a section of paper and then painted on Twinkling H2O's in three colors. You can't tell in the photos, but it really shimmers. Once they dried, I placed a Crafter's Workshop Chicken Wire stencil over the top and sponged on Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. I used Twinkling H2O's for the second layer of the card, too.

The stamp is from Stampendious. Because I couldn't have that much blank white space, I added a Memory Box butterfly covered with Doodlebug Design Sugar Coating.

 "Celebrate" is from Say It Big.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. DL.Art - June Linky
