Seashell Butterfly Card

I saw the One Layer Challenge at Hero Arts a while ago, but almost forgot about it if I had not checked my e-mail a few days ago...so here's what I created...

I used an overlay cut from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge (CTMH) as a stencil and modeling paste, on the left side of the card. Then, I created my seashell "butterfly" with the masking technique and hand-drawn antennae.
I watercolored the hexagons by tapping ink pads on my mat, adding water and using a paintbrush.
Finally, I sprayed some gold ink and stamped the background text.

Supplies:
Antique Engravings and Summer Memories (Hero Arts)
Modeling Paste (Liquitex)
Artbooking Cricut cartridge (CTMH)
gold Sheer Shimmer Spritz (Tsukineko)

I'm also entering this card in:
2. Mixed Media MC #3: Stencils with Modeling Paste
3. The Mixed Media Card Challenge #2: Summer
4. OLS Challenge #8: Shades of Summer (I picked Combo #5)
5. WAW #144: Anything Goes
6. SSS Wed Challenge: Make It Sparkle

Have a nice weekend!

Fireworks Let's Celebrate Card

July 4th is almost here...I just love watching the fireworks at the park...

I made this card based on this sketch from CTS Challenge #82, where I'll link it:

And I'm also entering this card in the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday Challenge #139: Anything Goes
CASology Week #102: Float (fireworks "floating" in the air...haha)
Simon Says Stamp "W is for White" (White Daisy cardstock - CTMH)
One-Layer Simplicity Challenge #7: Wave the Flag (inspiration from your country's flag - I was born in Taiwan, grew up in Brazil and have been living here for 8 years...I've got most of the colors, except for green and yellow! Maybe in another card...)

Thanks for stopping by!
