COUNT MOMENTS...

Hey there, I haven't been able to stamp for a while and I think I've been going through withdrawals.  Ha!  This card is for Bev's (TexasGrammy) "Clearly Hopeful" challenge for the Hope You Can Cling To card drive through Splitcoaststampers.  It's clear to Bev that cancer patients desperately need hope...so that's her challenge...to create a project that encourages hope while offering a clear element.  I saw this technique on Pinterest and couldn't wait to give it a try.  It worked beautifully (it's a shame the acetate butterfly doesn't photograph well)!  The butterfly was die cut from a Sizzix die, stamped with StazOn then chalked with pastels.  So cool!  Rhinestones complete the butterfly's body.

Here's the inside... 

Thanks for stopping by!
