Hi Everyone!
It's the second Tuesday of the month and that means it's time for another fun sketch challenge AND blog hop from Skipping Stones Design!
This month's new release is called "Breathtaking Butterflies" and it's such a lovely and versatile set - lots of fun butterflies to play with! You're going to love it!
If you hopped here from Cyndi Bundy's fabulous blog you're at the right place! If not, be sure to head back to the Skipping Stones Design blog to start the hop from the beginning - you won't want to miss a thing!
Here's my take on this week's sketch:
supplies: CS: kraft (Paper Accents), DP: My Mind's Eye; stamp set: Breathtaking Butterflies (Skipping Stones Design); ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Pumpkin Pie (SU!); bling: Kaiser Craft; small oval punch: SU!
I think cardmakers are naturally drawn to creating cards with butterflies, don't you? They're fun, whimsical, and awesome to play with. Plus, they make for some pretty gorgeous cards, don't you think?
Now that you're done here, be sure to head on over to fabulously creative Connie Mercer to see the awesomeness she created with this beautiful set and our fun sketch!
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous week!

Lovely! Those papers are wonderful! And I agree- I'm not into florals and butterflies and such usually but I've been on a major butterfly kick this year- so much fun to color!

Love that the colors and patterns give it a bit of a masculine feel, even with the pretty butterfly.
