I love today's Sketch Challenge, it really suits a CAS card and Korin's gorgeous one layer cards recently have got me back into masking and sponging with silhouettes! Put on your sunglasses for this one, I hope the result isn't garish as I went for hot shades! I masked the strip with post-it-notes and then used two favourite Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sets - Vintage Postcard and New Beginnings to stamp the silhouettes. And I can't praise MFT's Color Box Black Licorice ink enough for the fabulous dark, sharp coverage it gives for stamping silhouettes!

Fabulous job with all the techniques. I've never tried any of these Bridget, but you've inspired me to give it a go. You've got all the angles just perfect for those beautiful butterflies - love the brad for added interest and dimension. And don't get me started on how much I love your use of the Vintage Postcard set. Your card designs have shown how versatile this set can be. Thank you for sharing with us.

Just fabulous, Bridget. Your colors are not to garish at all. They pop off the page they are so vibrant.

Wonderful, wonderful, even more wonderful. I love this collage AND the bright colors, Bridget. I have got to get some of that black licorice ink! Lovely work.
