live, love, laugh

Hi!

I have had this stamp set for a while. I think I may have actually gotten it off of EBay.

But since it's a wood mounted stamp set it's a little less likely for me to use it because wood mounted blocks are harder to bring to crops. Whereas I can bring everyone of my acrylic sets to a crop.

Also, I was able to use my scrap stash. Which is always a good thing.

I used the sketch from Mojo Monday, it's week 84. They have some great sketches over there and I highly recommend that you check them out.

Also, the challenge over on 2 Red Bananas is Wearing Stripes which means you should include stripes in your design.

And I flipped the bow from the top of the sketch to the bottom and used a butterfly instead. Just to change things up a bit. I really like how it turned out.

Oh, and the butterfly was the challenge over at Ann's Creative Nook. GCA# 38 - Butterfly Wings.

Materials Used:

Stamps: SU! Spring Garden

Paper: CM Cardstock White, Royal Blue, Honeydew, Cactus Ink: SU! Chocolate Chip, Ballet Blue, Marvy Brush Markers No.100 Sapphire, No.48 Leaf Green, No.52 Yellow Green

Accessories: SU! buttons, Quickutz Nesting Flowers CC-FLOWERS-01, CM Circle Shapemaker, Meadow maker, Nestabilities Labels One

Happy Crafting.
