This is my second card as Guest Designer for the CAS challenge at The Outlawz. Our theme this week is "Musical" -- and that can have a wide interpretation. I chose to use a rubber stamp image from Sparkle n Sprinkle, one I've had for a long, long time (before I even started blogging!) but still love. In fact, this card is overwhelmingly filled with Sparkle n Sprinkle goodies -- embossing powder, glitter, and image.
Before stamping my image, I used chalks to color and blend the background and then I stamped the image with embossing ink, used black EP and heat set it. I used ProMarkers to add a bit of color to the butterfly in the image. I die cut it with one of my favorite types of dies (framing) from Spellbinders, making a fancy frame for it. The three little butterflies are die cut negatives and I added glitter to two of them. I mounted the image onto a pre-made, colored card front, added the bit of sheer ribbon and the corner brads. Another lovely, CAS design.

I started with the sketch from The Outlawz
and colors came from Connie Can Crop.
