Inspired by...Darlene

Thanks everyone for waiting for this post! Sorry I am a bit behind. This week's featured stamper has an eye for color and fun designs, oh, and by the way, she is super sweet! :) It is.......Darlene! You will want to spend some time over at Darlene's blog- she makes fun videos to go with most of her cards! Here is our first inspiration card by Darlene:

I love the way Darlene has stamped the butterflies in a row along the side of the card- what a great design idea! Her distressed stamping is so pretty. Finally, the touches of black in Darlene's design give it a great finished look. Here is my take: I inked my fern stamp (Hero Arts S5154) with Distress Stains (Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, and Broken China). I lightly spritzed the stamp with water before stamping onto white cardstock which had been lightly distressed with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Sentiment by Hero Arts (CL491). Cardbase distressed with Wild Honey Distress Ink.

Thanks again for your patience in waiting for this post and I'll see you soon with our next GORGEOUS card by Darlene!
