Old and New

If you didn't know that Wednesday's are card sketch challenge day over at SCS, then go check it out. I love to see what new sketch is posted each week as it gives me a great starting point for my stamping that day. Now I don't always get to them on Wednesdays and that's the beauty of it, you can do any challenge, any day. So whenever you feel stuck, head on over there and be inspired! Let me warn you though, the challenges are addicting.


Here is this weeks challenge


It was to use an offset oval. I used some of my favorite products, new and old. I finally got the swiss dots embossing folder for my cuttlebug-new. It is so cool and I know you'll be seeing more of it! The colors I used were Perfect Plum and Pale Plum (old) with some accents of old olive. The Butterfly is from one of my favorite sets, Priceless that debuted in the SU catty last July(so kind of old and kind of new). I stamped the butterfly with versamark on Perfect Plum cs and then embossed it with clear embossing powder (old). The butterfly is popped up on dimensionals to look like he is in flight. I added a little bit of stickles (the best glitter glue out there and it comes in amazing colors!) to the sentiment and the swirls of the butterfly.


Thanks for stopping by! I'm doing pretty good my first week of blogging-a post everyday so far. Hugs!
