feelin' krafty

which is a little like "feelin' groovy"...but in a much more hip, modern, card-makin' way...and thankfully does not involve either simon or garfunkel. :)

but *WHY* am i feelin' krafty?

well because it's time for a new CAARDVARKS challenge and for this one the only requirement is to include an element (or elements!) made from kraft paper or cardstock... (or heck, feel free to use an old grocery or lunch sack!) ...but make a new card, make it krafty, and link it up on the 'varks site by midnight, march 3rd for a shot at the prize...which is very well worth winning, i assure you. full details are on the caardvarks blog, along with the design team's magnificent contributions, and pics of the loot one lucky card-maker will score!

and now, without further ado, here is my card which was spawned using all these krafty feelings!

(patterned paper: prima, fancypants; kraft cardstock: 2peas; kraft artisan label: k&co; rub-on sentiment & chipboard scrolly border: my mind's eye; diecut felt: queen&co; flowers: petaloo; stick-on pearls: michaels; lg butterfly: hero arts stamp (on the back) & then cut out; sm butterfly: marvvy punch; other: colorbox inks, sakura glitter pen, foam tape)
