040118 Archi-scraps April Challenge

April Archi-scraps challenge: lots of lace!

I recently returned from what we fondly call our annual Spring Break,

a pilgrimage from the frozen north in search of warmer weather.

This year things are running a little behind schedule everywhere!

I had marked the following layout as inspiration for this challenge.

I wanted to use a colorful background & flowers.

I picked out some possible goodies to play with.

That "Water Colored Memories" paper pack by Ken Oliver is so gorgeous!
Each pattern has two options - a fully saturated color & a softer faded version.

My final choices: 

I had hoped to use the stencils but chickened out.

I did spritz over the butterfly & then flipped it & stamped with the leftover ink.

Did I do the inspiration justice?

I hope you will create a little piece of lovely from the April challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!
