{ 2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan's sketch 5 and butterflies }

Here is my card for the new sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You. I made it today, the one and only card I made this week. The week just slipped by. I bought this butterfly stamp set yesterday by Inkadinkado. This is the largest one in the set. I used my favorite papers and rub-on from Al Fresco collection by Tinkering Ink. I added Maya Road office sheer and Junkitz felt flower. Do you see the Iridescent Shredds I added to the butterfly?
This second card I created for a challenge on Hero Arts blog. Today I found out that my card received honorable mention and I will receive another Hero Arts stamp, new, not-yet-shown Christmas stamp. For this card I used Pink Paislee patterned paper, Jenni Bowlin die cut butterfly, Prima flowers for the butterfly antennae.Hero Arts: notecard, stamps, sparkle gems. I am getting really comfortable with the machine stitching, can you tell. I wanted to see how many other butterfly cards I had that I didn't share yet. There were plenty, but I will only post these two today, well four, if you count the other two. Both cards are made with Basic Grey Euphoria patterned paper and sticker. The second one I used October Afternoon stamps and American Crafts chipboard butterflies.

Miss Daniela, you just do the most gorgeous work; oh, I wish I had just 1% of your talent. Each card here is so unique and possesses such flair and style. That is it....you have style! Sometimes I think that if I saw your work and it was not identified as yours, I would know it! It is your style, my Friend, that I adore.

Congratulations on your Honorable Mention...that is quite an achievement! Good for you!
