Manly Card

I am not as good at making manly cards... partly because the stamp sets I own tend not to be too manly, so Lovely as a Tree is my ol' standby.  At my stamp-a-stacks this weekend, I promised all occasion cards.  With Father's Day coming, this one could be used for Father's Day or any other manly occasion.  (One of mine may go to my principal on Bosses' Day.)  I was able to jazz it up with the baker's twine since ribbons are less welcome on a man's card.

Flight of the Butterfly

One of my many "summer resolutions" is to participate in sketch and color challenges on the internet. I thought it would be fun to shake things up a bit and try someone else's colors and layouts since I have my favorites that I use often. So I decided to start with Mojo Monday's week 192 sketch. Maybe I should have done a color challenge at the same time because picking colors seemed to be the most time consuming. I had the sketch with me as I pulled out three stamp sets to choose from. I opened Flight of the Butterfly and never even tried the other two.  Here is the original sketch.  I stuck pretty close to the sketch this time, but maybe next time I will branch out and deviate a bit.
