Just A Splash...

...of colour that is. That's what the challenge is over at The Play Date Cafe this week. Make a black and white card with a splash of colour.

For my card I went with a splash of yellow to pop against the black and white.

I inked Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design with Versamark, stamped it on white paper and coloured over that with black Pan Pastels. These are  artist quality chalk/pastels that are very pigmented.

I punched out a Martha Stewart butterfly and covered it with glitter and added my ribbon and Hero Arts sentiment from Classic Messages.

Wishing you an inky day!
