Just saying "Hello"

Happy Monday Everyone!

Did you see that Super Bowl last night?

Last half was pretty exciting!  Just goes to show ...

It's NOT over TILL it's over!!

(those who follow football will understand!  [wink wink])

Congrats once again to the New England Patriots!!

Anyways ... anyone who knows me knows I enjoy a good sketch challenge and

I look forward to seeing what the Mojo Monday sketch looks like each week.

But today I came upon a sketch challenge over on Great Impressions

that I thought I'd join in on.  You get extra credit if you use their

stamps and I knew I had a few in my stash ... so here goes!

I must admit, since I've gotten involved with die cuts, I 

don't use my stamps nearly as much as I once did!  So this challenge

gave me to opportunity to get inky & creative all at the same time!

I've used two Great Impressions stamps that are very old.  They are #G298

and #G304 (Sea Grasses).  I thought they would work good together for my focus

image and then decided they would be equally as good as my background

so created a background panel then cut it to accommodate the sketch.

I've used a fine tip black marker to do the faux stitching

which I think helped accent the sketch design also.

The butterflies are from the Martha Stewart 3-in-1 Butterfly Punch

and my sentiment is by Technique Tuesday.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

As always . . .
