I was honoured to be asked by Andrea, owner of AnnaBelle Stamps, to be the featured stamper on the AnnaBelle Stamps blog for the month of March. I will also be the guest designer for AnnaBelle Stamps March stamp release on March 15th and 16th featuring a blog hop and prizes to be won, so don't forget to visit then!
For my card I've used the new February release stamps called 'Easter Hope', it won't be long until Easter is upon us so I better get in with some cards early. I stamped the tulip image onto white cardstock and again onto some scraps of pink and green DP and paper pieced them onto the first image. I'm not sure what brand the papers were as I only had a few scraps of them. The greeting was stamped then cut out with a Nestabilities circle die, then layered on another green circle then a pink Lacey Circles die-cut. I used my sewing machine threaded with pink to outline my stamped piece.
The butterfly is made using a Martha Stewart butterfly punch, I punched 2 of them, adhered one down on the cardstock then placed the other one directly over it and sewed down the centre of it. I cased the idea from THIS post on Little Birdie Secrets blog, although I just used 2 punchies instead of 3. The pink layer is edged with a Martha Stewart border punch, my green striped ribbon and the Lime Sprinkles (bling) is also from AnnaBelle Stamps store. The cardstock is from Bazzil and Pedigree Paper (white)
This sketch challenge runs for a whole month so do give it a go, you have plenty of time to do it and there are always prizes up for grabs!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Looks like you & I were on the same "wave-length" with our cards. The funny thing is I almost added a butterfly (wish I had now) as it looks awesome on your card.
