~The Play Date Cafe and Butterflies~



Sweet 'n Sassy's July Release Party has a ton of challenges to participate in.



The theme challenge is butterflies, hosted by Monika.



I just received my stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy...perfect timing!







I Versamark~stamped the butterflies and partially embossed them with black powder for a faded look.


The inspirational colors are from The Play Date Cafe #140 challenge.





The Heidi Swapp and BoBunny papers almost touch the colors.


I stamped the Sweet 'n Sassy sentiment in the Heidi Swapp Color Label and used Heidi Swapp's memory file stamp sentiments here and there.



I sewed around the butterfly panel to save my adhesive~ ;)



when I leave my sewing machine handy, I'm more likely to use it!




~Thanks for stopping in~
