(Please excuse the random introduction, I just needed to document the code names given on certain items so that I can decode future conversations between the two boys.)
Another lovely sketch is up at Skipping Stones Design! I'm featuring one of many Skipping Stones Design's beautiful butterfly stamps, this one comes from the Always Here set. I stamped, colored and fussy cut the image and placed it onto a piece of olive green cardstock that had been whitewashed with white ink stain for a weathered look. I like the contrast between the faded, weathered background against the bright, crisp butterfly.
Please stop on over to the Skipping Stones Design blog to see great inspiration from the guest designers, designers and to read about the challenge rules and prize details!

ooooh, the white wash is really pretty! I agree the butterfly really pops against that washed background!
Beautiful! Love the way your butterfly pops off of that washed background and it's "shadowed" there a few times. It has a great subtleness with a pop of "future happiness" for the sentiment. And, of course, too funny about the codes! :)
Wow, what a gorgeous card!
Lovely distressed background and a gorgeous butterfly, Karen! Simply beautiful.
I really love that sentiment, Karen, and your butterfly looks amazing!
Gorgeous! I love the subtle butterflies in the background and all of that scrummy green of course! ;D
Hugs!

Hi Karen, I love the boys translations. Make me smile from ear to ear! Marcel walked in the other day and told me he needed a therapist. I was cracking up. Apparently Pat told him if he kept watching a particular cartoon he was going to need a therapist. I asked Marcel if he knew what a therapist was, "Nope." and off he went :)
Now back to business :) Your card is a beauty. I love the subtle background stamping. Absolutely wonderful true to Karen fabulous design.
Love how the butterfly leaps off the card.
