Daffodils & Butterfly - The Pink Elephant Challenge #50



















Here's just one more card using the March Daffodils stamp set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. I also used the Butterfly from "In His Time", and the Sentiment is from "His Eye is on the Sparrow." All of these wonderful stamps are also from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps. These stamps are all on sale and flying out the door, so check them out today. And while you're there, why not try a Digi stamp. They are so much FUN to use, a great price, and no storage problem. TODAY is Digi Day and a few new releases.


So onto my card. For the inspiration for this card, I used a Sketch Challenge from The Pink Elephant. This was such a perfect sketch for these stamp sets.  This was also made for Danni's Flutter By Wednesday challenge for embossing and a butterfly. All of my stamped images are heat embossed with clear embossing powder before coloring.

The papers are from Close to My Heart, called Caboodle. I just love thesae colors. Sweetleaf, Crystal Blue and Sorbet.

The images were stamped with black Memento Ink and colored in with Copic Markers. The Daffodils were stamped twice. The second set was cut out and mounted for a 3D affect.

The hand stitching was done with matching Embroidery floss.
