April Joyful Stars Blog Hop with Love So Sweet and Zoe

Welcome back to another Joyful Stars Blog Hop! We are a group of Close to My Heart consultants who share something each month on the 9th and at 9PM EST. If you are coming from Andrea Sherman's blog you are on the right track. (The complete lineup is on Joyce's blog in case you get lost.) Have fun being inspired!  

I have two cards to share with you that started with the same great sketch from Case This Sketch #316.

Close to My Heart products used:

     Zoe Paper (argyle background AND                       butterfly coloring) Special                                 promotion until May 31

     Love So Sweet--April Stamp of the                         Month

     Intense Black Ink

     Glacier Card Stock

     Stitched Circle Die

     Versamark Ink

     Ranger Clear Embossing Powder

     Mini Glue Dots (attached to center of                        butterfly only so wings flip up)

After I stamped the butterfly onto the Zoe patterned paper, I pressed it onto Versamark Ink and then used Clear Embossing Powder and then fussy cut it with the CTMH Micro-Tip scissors.  Perhaps you can see it better in this closeup photo:

Here is the fabulous Case This Sketch #361 sketch that inspired my card layout:

  

Now it's time to head over to Joyce Hauck's blog --I'm sure you'll be inspired by what she has to share.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful week filled with fun and creativity!
