I created this card to enter into two challenges, the Time Out Photo inspiration challenge, and the Butterfly Challenge (my card includes three of the colors; Havoc/dark red), Highland/soft mint); and Hawkes blue; plus one theme: butterfly perched on the bike rack with a duck friend). I usually decorate the inside of my cards, but for this one I didn't add a sentiment since I'm not sure how I'll use it.

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Hetty Clare (Ducks Day Out)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & silver gel pens

·   Instructions for Z-fold card can be found HERE.

·   Patterned papers, sentiment tag, and other items from my stash.

The sponsor for the April Outlawz Progressive Challenge is artist Anne Fentons, and the digi is named “Hedgie.” I’ve never seen a hedgehog, so did some web research to help with my coloring. The research also inspired the sentiment on the front of the card. The inside sentiment is compliments of my hubby, who once barked out "Yikes" when he got his first glimpse of a new haircut I tried out a few years ago. (He is still trying to make up for that mistake!)

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Anne's Digital Art (Hedgie) Free upon request- along with many other beautiful drawings

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Sentiments- Computer Generated

·   Pioneer Clear Photo corners- available from several sources

·   All other items from my stash.
