Hello butterfly

Hello. It’s time for another sketch challenge at AnnaBelle Stamps. We have quite a simple sketch this month – so interpret it any way you like.

ac172

To create the rainbow chevron pattern on the tag, I used an arrow stamp from the Splat Attack stamp set. The background cross-hatch stamping on the card is BBD#5 – I just stamped it in both directions. I think I use this stamp somewhere most weeks as I love it! Tone on tone stamping rocks – in my opinion 🙂 The sentiment comes from BBD#8.

Dad You Rock!

*If you are looking for the AnnaBelle Stamps Blog hop and Giveaway, see post below this one*

I’m back with a card that I made on behalf of my kids for my hubby’s birthday which was yesterday. He told me it is the best card I have made him – so I guess it gets the thumbs up! Gotta love that.

It didn’t take long to put together. The chevrons behind the cut-out letters is washi tape.
