Good Morning!! Woo hoo! It is still still morning....I have so many dt creations to make but when I saw Dawn's sketch I had to play along!! What a great sketch for those bigger stamps. Thanks Dawn for the inspiration!!
I inked up my Penny Black-Lily Pond that was collecting dust. It is such an adorable image I just never have the time to use it so today I made time.
I combined the sketch challenge with the Creative Inspirations Challenge to have something hidden on your card and the Flutter By Wednesday to have a butterfly or Fairy on your card. If you swivel the butterfly panel, it has the sentiment "Fluttering by to say hi!" on it.
stamps: Penny Black- Lily Pond, Water lily skiing (butterfly)
Paper: Afternoon Tea, Kiwi Kiss, and Pink Pirouette
Accessories: Prisma Color pencils, mineral spirits, glitter, Textile embossing folder, nesties, sewing machine, ribbon (scrap I had around), paper co brad
Thanks for looking!!

You really worked hard on this card, and it shows.
What a great looking card, and the colors are so sweet.
Excellent card.

REally cute. I like how you split the scene and the butterfly hinge is so neat. Love the colors, the ribbon, and all that stitching! WOW
I had to tell my non-stamping friend that there was a message for her under my hinge panel!
