Sweet 'n Sassy Everyday Miracles

I have a sweet card to share with you today.  I made this with my June Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps set Everyday Miracles.  I just love how it turned out.  I think this is becoming my favorite sketch.  As things are making their way back in my studio I am finding so many papers that have been neglected. It is like shopping all over again!  *LOL*  I found this packet of wonderful Basic Grey coordinating papers that had a butterfly pattern.  Thinking that it would be perfect with its butterflies, I was not disappointed.

I knew I wanted to use my Martha Stewart Punch around the Page punch set.  Starting with a 5 inch square of paper that I punched around the page and that left a square in which to place an image, sentiment, and ribbon. This set has two butterfly images and four sentiments, shown below.  I chose the full butterfly image and colored it with Copics.  Once cut, colored, it was popped up with a bit of foam tape over a stamped and colored image.  I love how the blue and yellow blended to give a fine line of green.

You can find this set and many more that Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps has at their store HERE.

Today's Blessing: Two days and counting until the Chantilly, VA Scrapbook Show.  Come on over and we will make a card together at the Our Daily Bread Designs booth.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my card as much as I had making this one.
Randi

Another beauty - love the colour tones and the border is stunning.

I have a confession - your stunning cards with all these lovely bows motivated me to dig out my Bowmatic this week... I blame you for hauling my pal around shops which sell ribbon this week, lol xx
