Hello!
Welcome to the January CSS Alumni blog hop. If you came from the blog of the very talented Melissa, you are in the right place! If not, I encourage you to start at the beginning by heading over the Stamp TV. I wouldn't want you to miss all of the eye candy these talented ladies have created to share tonight.
Melissa has created this sketch for us use for our projects tonight.
I am going to keep my chatter to a minimum so you can keep hopping along. If you have any questions on my cards, please drop me an email or leave them in a comments for me.
Let's take a peek at my first card.
As you can see I flipped the sketch. The butterfly and sentiment are from the Strength and Hope stamp set. The butterfly is colored with copics and then covered with stickles. I added a trail of pearls to make it look like the flight pattern.
Card Supplies:
Stamps: Strength and Hope
Ink: Memento
Paper: SU, Gina K, Cryogen, Basic Grey - Cappella
Other: Pearls, Stickles, Spellbinders Rectangles, Copics - BV0000, 000, 00, 01/R000, 00, 01
For this card I took a few liberties with the sketch...yes that is the rebel coming out :) But hopefully you can still see the basic sketch.
I used the same stamp set, Strength and Hope. I paper pieced the ribbon behind the flowers. I stamped the image on another piece of paper, colored the flowers with copics, cut them out to and glued them over the ribbon.
Card Supplies:
Stamps: Strength and Hope
Ink: Versamark, Memento
Paper: SU, Gina K, Basic Grey - Cappella
Other: Pearls, Ribbon, Lace, SNSS Scalloped Die, Spellbinders Labels 18 & 23, Copics - R000, 00, 01

Hi, Sharri,
Both cards are so enjoyable. I love how you carried the same color scheme throughout both, the embellies really help tie the designs in, and the colors are quite becoming. I love these!
Hi, Sharri...love the pink sparkly butterfly with the trail of pearls. It's a perfect look. That pop of color on the second card is a stand out! Great job.
I especially love the one with the pearl swirl!
