Pastels for Cupcake Inspiration

Pastels were the prompt at Cupcake Inspirations.  I decided to try my hand at a new item in my stash and not only use pastel colors, but use pastels.  I started with some woodgrain cardstock and used some oil pastels to create a rainbow diagonally across the card. 

I used a paper towel and my finger to blend the oil pastels into the woodgrain. I then stamped my butterfly images. 

Love how the colors blended and that white in the grain showing through! Will definitely need to play with these pastels again.

Alphabet Challenge - Anniversary Card

Was inspired by the Alphabet Challenge, where A is for Anniversary.  

I love the colors and the combination of pattern papers.  For some reason, this card reminds me of Archie and Edith's chairs from All in the Family.  Loved that show, and as cranky as Archie was, he adored Edith. (Although, that show would never fly today!)

I hope you find some time to create today.
