Lucy's Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone! I loved following Lucy's sketch week and I thought it would be fun to play along with one of her sketches. This is what I came up with using Sketch #3.


I paper pieced part of Penny Black's Butterfly Kissed stamp. I'm trying to embrace more patterened papers so I shopped in my stash and found a few subtle patterns that I love. I really like Penny Black's To You sentiment but it was a little bigger than I needed for this card so I just inked up the "Happy Birthday".



Hope you are having a good weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

The release is another knock out hit! Each stamp set is amazing! Today I'm featuring Cross My Heart and I sneaked in a few of the other sets too! ;) I started my card by die cutting the stitched index card . Then I cut out the window  which is designed to open. (cool, right?) I wanted a frame for my window so I die cut the window again and trimmed the side before adhering it to my index base. Then I backed my window with some cloud patterned paper for my outside sky. Next I stamped and die cut the cats from Purrfect Pair. I have had SO much fun with these cats. After adhering to cats to the window sill, I stamped and fussy cut the heart balloon. I tied some black floss around the balloon and adhere it to the kitten's paw. Finally, I stamped my sentiment.
