For this week's Skipping Stone Design sketch we are going way back to Sketch #1. I decided it was only fitting that I pull out my first SSD stamp set, Healing Wings for the challenge.
To create the butterfly, stamp your image and color it in. I colored the butterfly with Ocean Memento markers and Tea Dye Distress Ink. Cut your butterfly out.
Thread twine through two stacked buttons.
Punch a hole in the center of the butterfly and thread your twine ends through to the back of the butterfly.
Pull the twine snug and you have a butterfly with antenna. Adhere to the card with a pop dot.
For the background of the card base, I embossed the design with Dreamweavers Butterfly LJ916 onto Coredinations cardstock. To make the butterflies pop, I sanded them a bit to highlight the core color.
Here is this week's sketch if you'd like to play along. Be sure to link your projects to the Skipping Stones Design Blog.
I am entering this in the following challenges:
•CASual Friday- things in the sky
•SirStampALot- take flight
•Paper Play- layers
