I have something incredibly special to share today! I am participating in a very special kind of blog hop. Not only are designers sharing their beautiful work, but we are working together for a very special cause! Skipping Stones Design has coordinated this Blogs 4 Boobies Hop and Auction to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. There is no doubt in my mind that cancer has touched each of you in some way. For me, personally, I lost my father to cancer and have another dear family member who is fighting the good fight right now. So how can you help?
Shopping at Skipping Stones Design: Between June 1st and June 14th, there will be $2 donated for every stamp sold at SSD.
Please spread the word! When more people know about this event, we have a better chance of raising more money for this great cause!
This is a 7 day event and I’m am hopping on day 5. You can go refer to the Skipping Stones Design link at the top of my blog roll to see all of the designers who are participating (there are more than 60).

Now for my card set! I created a set of 4 cards that I hope you will love. These use the butterfly from Healing Wings and the sentiment from Breathtaking Butterflies. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks on Watercolor Paper to color this amazing image. Once they were colored, I hand cut them to help them pop on the page. I started with blue and green inks combined with a Coastal Cabana base. I had so much fun making it, that I made two.
Then I decided I should make a set of four cards and wanted to try another color scheme. So I played around with yellows and oranges and found that the resulting butterfly matched my new Flirty Flamingo card stock.
I colored in much the same way and simply added different sequins to match the inks.
I love the results on both colors of cards!!
So now we get down to the nitty-gritty! I hope you will consider bidding on this set. Please remember to leave your bid and your email address in the comments of this post to be eligible. You are also most welcome to leave comments without a bid since I always appreciate hearing from you!Supplies:
