Dreamy Butterflies

I really like the sketch that Mary Jo shared this week on her blog. It's one I think I'll probably use again. The square panels are perfect for some of the smaller images in my stamp collection. They probably could be replaced with circles, too, for a different look. Here's my first try at it.

I used the new three-step Butterflies set from Kitchen Sink Stamps for the main images. The butterfly image is stamped in shades of blue ink. Maybe not the most realistic looking butterfly image, but I like it. I layered a piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock underneath the butterfly images for a little contrast.

I found some patterned paper that coordinated nicely with the cardfront. I matted it with Pacific Point paper and stamped one of the sentiments from Vintage Words in matching Pacific Point ink. I tied a piece of satin ribbon around the panel to draw attention to the sentiment.

Don't forget about this month's contest at the Kitchen Sink Stamps blog. The theme for this month's contest is "Turn up the Heat." You can find details on the contest here. The prize, as always, is free stamps . . .
