I love Sundays. I love my Sunday Sketches too. I find them inspiring and freeing. I am free to use whatever I want and I am always so inspired by the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers. I have been in a bit of a stamping slump of late. I struggle to come up with something I like, and more recently, I can't seem to find the desire to even head down to my studio and stamp anything. It's kind of scary, because for me, it has always been easy, and now I struggle. So, to conquer that, I did what every self respecting stamper would do. I bought more stamps! This time, I had to pick up some new Verve. After all, Verve is where it all started for me, so when the package arrived in the mail this week, I knew they would get inked up for my Sweet Sunday Sketch! And surprisingly, I felt my MOJO stirring!
I picked up Blue Skies from Verve's newest release...I really love the sentiments and this butterfly is to die for! Karen's sketch was fun...I love the variety of card sizes she uses and the long and tall ones are favorites of mine! I fell back on my love of bright colours and pink and orange always seem so beautiful together, so that's where I started. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black and then stamped the leaf image over it in Old Olive. The butterfly was stamped and coloured with Copic Markers, and I added a rhinestone cluster that I picked up at Michaels a while back. I am loving my Martha Stewart punches...and I couldn't resist using it to border the card as well! These punches take less than a millimeter off your card, so they make for perfect borders without changing the size of your card.
So now I'm going to send you off to be inspired by the rest of the Sunday Stampers before you give this week's sketch a whirl! Don't forget to link it up to Karen's post here and you might be featured on her blog next week!
Happy Sunday friends! Thanks for dropping by and have a fabulous rest of the day!
