Blog Hop- Breathtaking Butterflies

Good morning!

Skipping Stones Design is celebrating the release of our newest set- Breathtaking Butterflies and it's just stunning!

We are blog hopping today, so you should have arrived here from the amazingly talented, Karen Baker's blog. If not, head back to Skipping Stones Design where you can pick up our full hop order and start at the very beginning, which (we learned from the Sound of Music) is a very good place to start....

Our sketch artist this month is Cyndi Bundy and here is the card I created using our new set + Cyndi's sketch:


I took some liberties with the sketch- what stood out to me most was a pocket and a tag, so I used a library card pocket that I picked up at a local stationary/paper store and distressed it with some tea dye ink.  I stamped the butterfly and sentiment and adhered the card base that I had covered with some pretty paper from My Mind's Eye.  I also die cut a tag that I inked to match the pocket and ties with a bit of hemp twine.  Some lace, and a few velvet flowers and bronze pearls finished off the design. 

Don't forget to link up your take on this week's sketch to the Skipping Stones blog for a chance to win a free set of Skipping Stones stamps! Here's another look at this week's sketch:



Next up in our hop, is our Paper Craft Magazine Gallery Idol, top 15 gal, Jennifer Ingle!  

Thanks for visiting!
