Skipping Stones Designs - Best of Butterflies

Hi Everyone,

today I have the pleasure of showcasing this wonderful  new Skipping Stones Designs set called Best of Butterflies.


Aren't they all just gorgeous?




I settled for the sideways butterfly and stamped him once the right way and then turned him around. makes him a little asymmetric, but lets call it art....right? 
I water colored him and added Wink of Stella and lots of white gel pen dots. Did some splattering. The sentiment is from the same set. Added white dots to the little banner I added for balance. 

In case you can't read the sentiment it says:

Life is not measured by the number of breath we take, but by the moments that take our breath away


Happy Stamping!

Perfectly balanced with the splats and dots. What a fun way to use the butterfly stamp, always so very creative. Beautifully coloured in and the black against it is so striking x

I just had one of those breath-taken-away moments, Cornelia ... what a stunning butterfly ... shimmery and beautiful ... against the splattery background it looks as though it's fluttering! LOVE the sentiment! Hugs, Anita :)

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
