Black Magic Butterfly

Welcome everyone to a sketch day at Sunday Stamps....and Holly has a quick and easy sketch for us this week that I'm sure could have tons of wonderfully creative interpretations.

I've kept my card relatively simple.  I've used the Black Magic Technique for the butterfly and this card will be done at my Technique class on February 15.  The link to the technique, demonstrated on Splitcoast is HERE.  It's really easy to do, and gives some use to those pencil crayons that a lot of us have hanging around if we have school children.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when you join us.

1. Please provide a Link back to us in your Post.

2. Please link directly to your blog post for the challenge.

3. Feel free to use any Brand of product.

4. Deadline is Friday February 8th @12pm EST.

5. Have FUN!!

Be sure to check out the Sunday Stamps blog to see what the rest of the design team has created with Holly's sketch.

Thanks for stopping by - Have a fabulous Sunday.

Circling Butterflies

After not quite knowing what to do for this challenge, I'm happy with how it turned out - despite it being a bit ....different.

The technique today at Hand Stamped Sentiments was to use the Black Magic Technique.  I haven't done that for awhile - so long in fact, that I had to use my watercolour pencil crayons because I've taken all the regular pencil crayons to school.  I really must bring them back, I guess!

I took the sketch from Splitcoaststampers sketch challenge #380.  I wasn't sure that the circles would work with the little background I created, but I think it all pulls together okay.  I love this Creative Elements stamp set, and am glad it is remaining in the catalogue.  I enjoy colouring in that little background - although it's a bit harder with gel pen than marker.

You don't realize how hard it was for me to not put this whole thing through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder - I held off and I'm glad - but that means there were no dimensionals used.  That is an absolute rarity with me.

Anyway - my daughter and I are heading to the the "Park" for a treat of Marble Slab and then we're going to take in "The Hunger Games" - seems a bit odd after Marble Slab!!!!!  Here's to an enjoyable evening.

Hope you have some enjoyment in your day!  Thanks for stopping by!  Joan
