smARTworks Tea Party - No White

So this time it was Trish who gave us a challenge for the 19th smARTworks Tea Party. And what a challenge it was...for me at least!! She limited us and would not let us use white!! Is she kidding, I mean, I use white all the time on my cards!! But I was determined to give it a go!! In the end, I like my Clean and Simple card. I started out with a card base of Kraft cardstock. Then I repeatedly stamped some leaves from the Petal Power stamp set along the bottom using Chocolate Chip ink. Next, I decided to add some color by using my Copic markers. Well, YG03 Yellow Green, to be precise. I colored over one end of the leaves to create some shading....I like!! Next, I punched out the butterfly with a Martha Stewart punch and colored it in with the same marker. I added the dots with more chocolate ink and a dot taken from the same stamp set. I finished off the card with a simple sentiment and a dotted line where the butterfly has been fluttering!! So now maybe I'm convinced that you can actually make a card without using white...as long as you can use some Kraft cardstock!!

Now you have to go see the other smARTwork Cookies to see what they have created!
