Butterfly Kisses & Dandelion Wishes


It's been a crafty kind of weekend - rain and gale force winds! Not much else to do but hunker down and make some cards.  :) For this card I used the colours from The Colour Throwdown and a sketch from Skipping Stones Designs.  This is my first time using my Skipping Stones stamps and it's also their 100th challenge - a perfect time to join in!  I turned the sketch on it's side and used stamps from two different sets: Dandelion Dreams and Frills.  Can't wait to play with some more! 
Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White)  Bazzill Basics, (Crumb Cake)  Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Dandelions  butterflies from Dandelion Dreams, Plaid from Frills)  Skipping Stones Designs
Inks:  (Old Olive, Baja Breeze, Crumb Cake) Stampin' Up
Other:  (Baby Blue Stickles)  Ranger
