I know a lot of my fellow stampers have a little basket or somesuch that has little cast off pieces of stamped images or die cuts that they have saved for future use. Well I never had one of those, preferring instead to have my cast offs strewn about my craft desk, buried under blotters, stuck to other pieces, with no sense of organization whatsoever. It's always been an adventure to discover what I might find! Well, I've been on vacation these last few days and decided that my craft cave needed some cleaning and organization. And that decision paid off because buried under some other stuff I found a small piece that I had embossed a leafy image on and decided it was perfect for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.
I cut the embossed image in two per the sketch the added a wee butterfly - a favorite image of mine. It's been a while since I added a butterfly to one of my cards and I've missed them! I have a ton of them and I love this one because the stamp has an accompanying punch (so much easier than fussing with an image and a steel die) and the center of the butterfly is perfect for adding a row of little pearls (which is probably hard to see).
My fellow CAS(E) This Sketch teammates have made some gorgeous cards with this sketch so be sure to check them out!
