Happy mid-August – I can’t believe how fast this month is flying by!  I hope you will find time to join our “Color it In” Challenge this month.  Coloring is such a great way to relieve stress and back to school can be quite stressful, so take some time for yourself and do some relaxing coloring to enter the challenge and you might be the winner of a $25 gift certificate to the a2zscrapbooking store!

For these two cards I masked off the middle of the card and put a few masks of the Hero Arts DL133 Swallowtail Fancy Butterfly die and colored around them with a sponge dauber and Distress Inks.  Then while the ink was still wet, I sprayed a background script stamp with water and stamped it on the inked portion to lift some of the color off.  Then I sprayed some shine on with shimmer spray.  I finished the top and bottom off with some striped washi tape and a white embossed sentiment from Hero Arts CL924 Hello Gorgeous stamp set.

Hope you will take the time to enter our challenge this month here: Color it in!  Just remember to use one main Hero Arts product to be eligible to win the $25 gift certificate to the store!  Woohoo!
