Play Date Cafe Challenge #27

It's time for some fun with the Play Date Cafe Challenge #27. The colors this week are light blue, light green and off-white.
I had a great time trying a new technique and using a new clear set from Hero Arts.
I used the Spellbinders Impressabilities- Butterfly template to deboss with a letterpress effect. I inked up the template with blue and green chalk ink before running it through my Cuttlebug. Then I added more color to  the cream panel with Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Crushed Olive. I stamped the panel with the Flourish Grid in VersaMark ink and white embossed. Some layering, punched butterflies, ribbon and Zva pearls finish it off.
Thought for the Day: 2 John 1:6 ~ "Love means doing what God has commanded us, and He has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning."
Bless you,
nancy
