I struggled at first with these images, and wasn’t really happy with my first card, so I set it aside and started again. Despite the fact that I stamped my center sentiment a tad bit crooked, I still like it:
The images and sentiments are all from Starving Artistamps; the butterflies are stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with black EP, then colored with Pink Pirouette and Soft Sky reinkers. I stamped the “Faith Hope Love” across the Kraft Top Note with Creamy Caramel, then stamped the main sentiment in Stazon. Some pink & blue twill “tied” it all together! I hope you like it….now check out what the other CTD artists have come up with this week:
- Broni - Splashes of Watercolor
- Tammy - Stamp Happy
- Cathy - Crafty Thoughts
- Barbara - Paper Pursuits
- Danielle – Wild Dragonfly Designs
- Kristin - Mindless Creativity
- and our guest designer this month, Deb Southard – Debi’s Crazy Life
Oh, and here’s my first attempt, which also uses the Fall to Layout Sketch #76:
Not quite so spiffy…..I do LOVE this sketch, however….so you may see it again soon!!! Thanks for visiting today!
