DRS Designs Challenge #9, Postage Frames!

Today on the DRS Designs DT Blog we've just begun Challenge #9! It is to use the DRS postage frame/envelope art stamps as focal points on our projects. These stamps are great for the front of your envelopes of course, but why limit yourself to only using them on your envelopes, when you can make them the main part of your project? So, go ahead, pull out your postage frames and give it a try! Be sure to let us know if you participate by posting a link on the DRS Designs Challenge post so we can visit you. If you post to an online gallery, be sure to use the keyword DRSC9 so we can find it!

For this challenge, I created this Monochromatic Butterfly Thank you Card.

I have to admit, this was pretty quick and easy to make, however, I already had the idea in my head before I sat down to create it. All of the butterflies colored with pencils and blended with Gamsol. I used marker to color in their bodies and a white gel pen on the butterfly wings in the postage frame. I sponged the light purple on the Ribbon Slide Butterfly. I used my Score Pal to create the scored off center and used purple ink to stamp the flower image around it.

I know this card would be perfect for my Friend, Theresa. She loves purple and butterflies! Now, she just has to give me a reason to Thank her! :-)

I appreciate your visit today, and would love to hear from you!

Stay tuned for more fun projects throughout the week. I created 8 new ones to show you! (Yes, I made great use out of the time I was home alone this weekend. Sometimes I really like it when he goes out of town. Shhh, Don't tell him I said that!)

Have a great day!
