Kismet, Art, and Life: Painting challenge

June 01, 2011

Painting challenge

Good grief why does life seem to get so busy as soon as warmer weather hits?

I've been CRAZY for the past few days! I need a break already...

Today's card is for the Painting challenge at Simply Scrapping Crafts.

Instead of using actual paint, I used a paintbrush and

some Ranger Distress ink and "painted" the ink on.

*smile*

Stamp is from Unity.

Ribbon is May Arts, who also happens to be our sponsor this week!

Join us for a yummy prize package of gorgeous May Arts ribbon and trims.

Thanks for stopping by,
