I won't be stamping daily for a while- it looks like we may have to move yet again, and I have way too much work to do in the house to spend as much time stamping and commenting as I would like. So if you don't see much of me for a while, don't worry- I'm still here, and I'll try to at least get something done a few times in the coming weeks and months.
Thank you everyone, for looking at my work, leaving so many wonderful comments, and making me feel so loved and appreciated! It means more to me than you can imagine!
This is for today's sketch challenge. I've cut out my images from a DP stack by Amanda Blu, cut out and popped up the big butterfly twice. The tulip I colorized with markers and a watercolor brush. The card base is Whisper White, then a panel of gray textured Bazzill, then the DP; all layers popped up for dimension. I've used a black cloth brad, with a green rhinestone on top of it on the sentiment panel, which reads, *One touch of nature makes the whole world kin* (William Shakespeare) I thought it was very appropriate for my card today.
Inside I stamped the fern, stamped off twice to make it very light, then overstamped the butterfly.
Thanks yet again for all your admiration and support.
Love and hugggs to All,
Maddy

Wow! What a fabulous tulip you've created. I like how you used the three squares as a canvas for this flower.
