Hello! Happy Tuesday! New month, new sketch designer! This month Skipping Stones has asked Belinda to create the sketches. I hope you will take a minute or two to check out her blog! I am hoping I will have a chance to play with all the fun sketches before my due date arrives. I think I have about a month left to go before Baby M makes her debut!

The sketch this week was a stretch for me as a stamper. I am a girl who likes symmetry. I like balance and as hard as I tried, the offset nature of the background kept freaking my eyes out!

I also challenged myself first by trying to use different colored inks on the main image. I decided I wanted a fresh spring look. The butterflies and sentiment on this card are from the newly released set Dandelion Dreams. Overall I think my card this week turned out "springy" looking. I hope you will try this sketch and see what you can come up with!




Stamps: Dandelion Dreams (Skipping Stones Design) Paper: Gemstones - Green (Core'dinations), Bashful Blue (SU!), Lavender Rosebuds (Paper Pizazz - Hot Off the Press), Green Gingham (Paper Pizazz - Hot Off the Press), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah) Ink: Bashful Blue Classic (SU!), Gable Green Classic (SU!), Orchid Opulence Classic (SU!), Lavender Lace Classic (SU!) Accessories: Sewing machine (Singer), white thread (Sulky), Glitter brads (The Paper Studio - Hobby Lobby), circle nestabilities (Spellbinders), cuttlebug machine (Provocraft), purple ribbon (unknown source).

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...
