Stopping in today with another Group Post for this month's PTI release. Today's set is fabulous! And the matching dies? Equally as fabulous! Our challenge for today was to make 2 cards. One simple and one made using a technique. First off, here is my CAS card...
I used the new Background Basics: Super Chevron to make the Smokey Shadow chevron background. I added in a piece of Berry Sorbet on the side and then attached a vellum butterfly. I stamped and cut apart the sentiments and popped them up on foam tape.

For my "technique", I chose to make a stencil and use spray mist. I have to say my pictures are so light, its kinda hard to see. For some reason I couldn't get them to photograph very well, but I was going for a light look and I guess that is what I got. In real life, you can see the butterfly in the background really well.
SoI die cut a butterfly and then made my own spray mist using water and an Aqua Mist ink refill. I mixed the 2 in a mini spritzer and then sprayed over the stencil.
When that was dry I stamped off some Smokey Shadow ink...again to get a really light look...and used an image from Background Basics: Sheet Music. On top of that, I stamped off some Harvest Gold ink and then added in an image from Watercolor Wonder. I wanted to use the same kind of sentiment as my first card, so again I stamped and cut out the sentiment and popped it up on foam tape. I added in 2 enamel dots to finish it off.
