Calling All Sistahs Encouragement Challenge for June

Hello Blogging Friends,

Well today is the start of the Calling All Sistahs Encouragement Challenge!!  Here is a picture to help inspire you to create something for this challenge:

Here is my card for this challenge:

Ingredients:

CAS-ual Fridays Pretty Posies stamp set

CAS-ual Fridays Posies Fri-Die

CAS-ual Fridays Be stamp set

Black ink

Broken China distress oxide

Worn Lipstick distress oxide

Wilted Violet distress oxide

Peeled Paint distress oxide

Green printed paper

Nuvo Gold enamel drops

Kraft cardstock

Watercolor paper

Bundled Sage distress ink

For this A2 card I started with Kraft card stock for the base of the card, I took a piece of green patterned paper, inked the edges with Bundled Sage distress ink and then attached it to the card base.  I rubbed the different distress oxides onto my craft mat and spritzed them with water and then took my watercolor paper and ran it through the ink several times until it was completely covered.  I spritzed some more water on it and let it dry.  Once it was all dry I stamped the Pretty Posies onto the watercolor paper with black ink and then cut them out using the Posies Fri-Dies.  I arranged the flowers onto the card and then put some Nuvo Gold enamel drops in the centers of the flowers and let that dry.  Lastly I stamped the sentiment from the Be stamp set with black ink onto the card.
