Addicted to Stamps says anything goes! Okay, you asked for it! Well not really.. It actually gave me an opportunity to play along with Make My Monday Challenge using a favorite medium, kraft paper! Also, I see Addicted to Stamps has a DT call and yes I am interested in the position!

| Entering Make My Monday Challenge: Theme: Use Kraft Card |

| After heat embossing the wheat I thought it needed something more on the bottom. Just a bit of Distress Ink sponged on the bottom gave it the depth I wanted. |
 |
| The butterflies were stamped on blue CS I lightly highlighted the wings with PrismaColor pencils and fussy cut the images. |
 |
| You can see the color variation on the kraft paper. I really like the way it turned out. |
So how did I do it? Here is the way:
- Using a packaged kraft card base I stamped the wheat with VersaMark Ink and then heat set with white powder.
- Sponged 'Rusty Hinge' on the bottom of the card and worked my up fading the color out on the top.
- Sponged 'Vintage Photo' Distress Ink on the bottom.
- Mixed white acrylic paint with some water to thin it out then splattered the paint on the card base.
- Repeat step 4 but used yellow paint. Let dry
- Stamped butterflies on a separate sheet of blue CS then lightly highlighted the wings with some yellow PrismaColor pencils.
- Fussy cut the butterflies.
- Attached the butterflies by its body leaving their wings free.
- Stamped the sentiment in black.
