Today I've a CAS card with lot of masking and stamping!!!

I just only one Lawn Fawn stamp set so whenever I want to join in for the Lawnscaping challenge, I have to find a  new way use that stamp set.

The international shipping charges are eating up a big chunk of my crafty budget, on the top exchange rates are very high now and that RANDOM.Org thingy hates me...I never win a thing with it!!!

I need more stamps.

Okay!! Now here is my one layer card....

I created the masks using PTI butterfly dies and plain printer paper. Used the negative masked the area and stamped different Chevron borders( from Chevron Backdrops stamp set)  on open spaces and sponged the area with same ink.

I think the butterflies look cool!!

Then dry embossed the cardfront with woodgrain impression plate.

The sentiment is from E.A.D. Designs.

Hope blings are okay on one-layer cards.

This card is for the following challenges....

Lawnscaping : One Layer Card.

Color Throwdown : Colors.

The Paper Girls: Birthdays.
