Another month, another Sketchy Challenge! I love working with sketches. They give me a place for my left brain to rest and my right brain to take over; sometimes the transition is that obvious!

Once they were dry, I mod podged them over top of the background I stamped earlier. Once it was dry, I tore off edges and tied some ribbon around it before attaching it to an embossed background. I punched the butterfly out of a double sided adhesive sheet and applied some Clearsnap glitter to it, then attached it to the ribbon. Last step was stamping…
