I AM BACK - WITH BUTTERFLIES

Hi All!! So sorry I took that break, I was fighting a horrible sinus infection, a sty in my right eye, and still had to get through three events - ugggghhhhh! Was not my favorite week, I will say that!!! My customers were so gracious and understanding that I was not at the top of my game - at least I had nothing catching, lol!! But, I am feeling a whole lot better now and thought I would share the card I made for the sketch challenge over at SC this week!! My fellow sketch team member Liz did the sketch this week and it is fabulous!!! I decided to do an emboss resist card since this is a technique I taught in my Club this past week.  I love how it looks and I have not done it in awhile.  I wanted to use butterflies on my card - I am really into them lately, so I chose my Dreams Du Jour stamp set as I love that butterfly and it was the perfect size!  I stamped them in Versamark, then added white embossing powder, some heat, and then sponged some soft pinks and greys over it and I am liking those colors together!!!  I also added some of my die cut butterflies - love that embosslit die and my large die for my BS - such pretty butterflies!!!  The patterned paper is from the Sweet Pea paper pack that is only available until the end of this month and then it's GONE!! Yep, the Occasions Mini is coming to an end, so if you have faves in there, you best stock up NOW!! You can order online with me here - just click and shop :-)  Today I have TONS of swaps to do so that I can have them done before I leave for my stamp retreat on Friday - whooohoo!!!  So, I will share a couple of them with you tomorrow - promise!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by, I love it when you do!!! Have a wonderful day and happy stampin'!!!!!!
