CAS Mix Up April 2020 Challenge & NBUS #13




I am finally playing today and made the triplets a Birthday Card.  They will be two on April 26th.
And then I was able to play in a couple of Challenges with one card.

CAS Mix Up

&
Darnell's NBUS #13

I used Gina K's Sending Love stamp set.  I sponged on DOX inks and then stamped on the butterflies.  After that I used bleach to paint on the wings to bleach out the color.  I have done this before but it is always fun to revisit an older  technique.

Triplet card was MFT Beary Special Birthday colored with Copics

Thanks for stopping by.

wonderful bleached butterflies, I love the colours and the bleach creates such a soft tone.
Your bear birthday card is adorable, so perfect for the triplets. Can't believe they are almost 2yrs old :)

No way those triples are two already! Wow! I'll bet they are getting into mischief more than ever! Your card with the three bears is just adorable and I can't wait to see the birthday party photos! I also love your blending and bleaching on your butterfly sympathy card! Thanks for sharing at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

A beautiful sympathy card with stunning colors. The bleach really made the butterflies stand out. Two! We were just seeing baby pictures and now they are two. This is a sweet card with the three bears celebrating. I agree with Darnell, can't wait to see the photos of their party.

Love the bleached flutters on the sympathy card. The analogous colours are beautifully blended.
The triplet bears are adorable. Both great cards.

Two fabulous cards here Lin! Your butterfly card is so pretty using the bleaching technique. Those three celebrating teddy bears are just too cute for your little triplets. Oh my, they must be so busy. I can't think of anything better than loving on three littles at once. <3

Gorgeous butterfly card using the bleach technique. But I think the triplets birthday card really caught my eye...I can't believe they are already 2. Hopefully you can get some photos via the internet from their folks that you can share with us. Such adorable bears. TFS my friend. Stay safe and creative. Hugs...Nancy
