A Study in White on White with just a touch of Black

Butterflies


White. On. White.

I love it. It pops and just stands strong despite the lack of tonal variety. And when I saw today's Skipping Stones Design sketch, it was the perfect match for this monochromatic scheme!



Yes, my dear friends, it is that time again! Skipping Stones Sketch Tuesday! What does that mean, exactly? Well, for starters, it means that you get to see some FABULOUS cards created by the Stamp Tramps! Secondly, it means that if you create a card using the sketch and link it up over at SSD, you have a chance to win some stampy goodness!!!! And C., it means that you get to see the awesomeness that other peeps create and be even MORE inspired!!!!

Congratulations {SSD74}


For my card today I chose the Sentiment Frames set. I used a basic flat, white cardstock and inked the edges with Momento ink. The butterflies are punched with a Martha punch.

Congratulations (close)


SO...now you should go see what the other girls have created and get SUPER inspired and then MAKE SOMETHING!!! just say'n.

OH...and in the event that you like shopping and you like stamps and you like sales and discounts and such...it just so happens that Skipping Stones was recently featured over at the Moxie Fab World!
