I really liked this sketch (Melissa is so talented!) so I made two cards for this hop.
I have flipped the sketch for both of my cards.
For the first one, I stamped part of the flowers from the new StampTV kit called "Sent with Love", on a die cut that was stamped with the block from the "Smile " stamp set (one free with three). The sentiment is from that set, as well. The butterfly is from Gina's "Spring Mix" set.

My next card once again uses stamps from the Smile (one free with three) stamp set. I used Memento markers to stamp the image and then colored in the trees with Copic markers. I added some pearls and some white ribbon and voila- it's complete.
Thank you for commenting and good luck trying to win the stamp set from Gina. Now, you are going to head off to KAY'S blog and check out her fabulous work. See you soon!

The butterfly really caught my attention - yes I love butterfly's. Guess that is another wish list item. But really, I loved the card! And more using stripes..and the circles. I think I might be pulling out my stash of striped and circle paper. TFS!!!
