Make It Monday #236

This week for the Make It Monday Challenge we get to go A La Carte!  They have posted a review of all of the challenges in 2015 and you get to pick one that you liked, or maybe missed. You can check it out OUT!

There were so many to pick from.  Some I remembered very well and I was able to join in.  the one that I picked for my entry is Bring the Inside Out, by Danielle Flanders. 
Here is my card.
 I used my distress inks and my water color abilities to make this simple card.  I also used die cuts and stamp set from Papertreyink, called Scene it: Celebration.  I am going to used this set a lot.  I can sure see that. 
This die was cut from Strathmore watercolor paper and then colored and adhered to the inside of the card.  I used the same die to cut the circle on the front of the card, thus letting the inside out!  A few stamped stars and a greeting on the inside and outside too.  Of Course, a little Wink of Stella on the stars. 



  

 Take a peek at the inside.
Thanks so much for stopping by.  I am so glad that I was able to bring my card making supplies with me this winter.  There is a lot to do in sunny Florida, but I still have time for my craft!  My best to you this week. 

Oh, and please check out the MOD SQUAD CHALLENGE this week.  Leslie Turner and I are hosting and there are prizes.  Just sayin!

    I was looking at that technique too. I love your water colored balloons and the tag for the sentiment. Going to try to find time to play at Mod Squad this week. I love the challenge.
