I was really on the ball this month with my CCC card (I'm sure you all know about Deborah's CCC - make a card and sent it someone and get one back) My card winged it's way to Lizzy in Australia.
March included a sketch, a colour scheme and theme's of Easter or Trees or Friendship plus a product - watercolour paper.
I sort of followed the sketch, used the Friendship theme and watercolour paper...
My background was made with a faux letterpress technique. I inked up my embossing folder with inks and pressed it with water colour in it. I just pressed it with my hands and not through the Cuttlebug. I then used the distress inks to sponge on colour. My butterfly is also die cut from watercoloured paper. My sentiment is from Winnie & Walter.
I'm watching the Cricket World Cup Semi finals tonight. New Zealand are playing South Africa. We are chasing a total of 298 and are not doing too bad... but it will be a close game and I'm hoping we will win. I'm not sure I will stay up till the end as there's still a couple more hours to go.
Thanks for stopping by.

Lizzy will love this! The faux letterpress turned out beautifully, Dawn.
Stunning Dawn love your use of the faux letterpress technique - I recognised it as your work immediately when scrolling through my feed.
That was a cliff hanger of a game - we stayed up and watched!! :-)
