Welcome!

My name, Karin, was pretty common when I was growing up...just not the spelling. Unless you are of German heritage like I am. So, I have spent my entire life answering the question, "What is your name"?... With, "Karin...with an "i"! Who knew it would come in handy all these years later when I went to name my blog.

Hope

Hi Everyone,

This is the card I made for the Butterflies challenge at the DRS Designs blog.  The Hope Achieves sentiment is from the newly released stamps at DRS and after stamping it, I used the Three Butterflies stamp inked up in a pale pink for the background of the panel.

The Leaf Butterfly Spray is also a new stamp.  It was colored with Copic markers and the one butterfly and flower bud was attached with pop dots for dimension and interest.


I added some half pearls for embellishment because the card looked dainty to me.  Ah, spring!  I love the fresh looking colors associated with the season :)

I hope that you can join us in the Butterfly challenge this week at DRS Designs!

Karin, what a delicate, beautifully-colored, elegant card. The sentiment is super sweet. We really can accomplish more as long as there is hope in our hearts, right? What a great idea to pop up the bud and butterfly to create that dimension over the sentiment! Thanks for showing such a lovely card.
