I got the chance this morning to play along with this week's sketch challenge over on SCS. It's been awhile since I played along with one of the challenges over there! It's always fun to try something different! I pulled out Butterfly Dreams for my card. I stamped some background paper with one of the background stamps and a text stamp. I added a couple different pink papers and sponged all the edges with the tea dye duo inks and dark chocolate ink and stitched my layers together.. I added some crocheted lace, sweet blush ribbon, and a cream button. Then, I added my sentiment panel that had also been stitched and the edges inked. Last, I added my focal point image, the monarch butterfly.
Have a great day!
Niki
