Butterfly Thank You


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
