Designs by Lisa Somerville: Critter Challenge Sketch Challenge

This weeks Critter Blog Challenge is a sketch challenge. It's a great sketch that I can see using again, with many other stamps I own. This months Critter Challenge sponsor is Paper Jewels, one random winner from this months challenges will win a Gift Certificate from Paper Jewels. See the Critter Challenge Blog for full details.

I decided to go with the classic Black and White for the sketch. The flourish is from Sizzix, stamped in Black Archival on White, then using a Piercing Tool, I pierced all the small dots. The butterflies are from the Stamipn' Up! Embosslit Beautiful Wings, cut from the Day & Night Specialty paper, mounted around the flourish using dimensionals and glue dots. I added the Black Half Pearls from Basic Grey to the body centers. The sentiment is from Kitchen Sink Stamps Ready 4 Any Holiday.
