Floating & Fluttering for Freshly Made Sketches

Today I am playing along in the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge 468.  They offer up a sketch idea, and then we as paper crafters create a project inspired by that sketch!  Here is the Sketch Idea offered and it will link you back to their blog to see all the other creations created as well.

I decided to create with the new Floating & Fluttering stamp set and coordinating dies.  I also pulled in a sample piece of the Fine Art Floral DSP.  I wanted something bright but also wanted to show off these fabulous new butterflies we have to offer.  Since this set has no sentiments, I also used the new Happy Thoughts stamp set.

Take a look at my Stampin’ Show & Tell video tutorial, and watch as I  go through the creative process.  This is a lovely 2-step stamping set, where we can stamp the outline image and then stamp the full color of the image with a second stamp.  Then see the full tutorial with the supply list below in this post.

So are you inspired by this fun project?  I just love the brightness of the colors and the way the pattern in the Fine Arts Floral DSP coordinates with the outline images of the butterfly.

• Stamp your sentiment with Memento onto the bottom of the patterned paper.

• Also stamp the inside panel of your card.

• You will use the Garden Green ink again, and stamp behind and around the placement of your Basic Black label, on the front of your card.

    Put it All Together
