Fab Friday 83

I've had the Garden in Bloom stamp set since the Stampin' up! annual catalog came out last year. Sadly, I hadn't used it yet. The sketch for the Fab Friday challenge had me thinking about this stamp set right away. 

Here is my take on the sketch:

CCMC399 - Sketch Challenge

I really liked the sketch for this week's Create with Connie and Mary challenge. I am bumming that Blackberry Bliss will soon be retiring, so I decided to use it while I can.

Here is my take on the sketch:

It's hard to tell in the photo, but I used the clear Wink of Stella glitter brush on the Whisper White butterfly, which is underneath the Blackberry Bliss butterfly. It shows up nicely in person, not so much in a photo.

Freshly Made Sketches #226- A sketch by Rita

I'm typically not a fan of purple, which may be the main reason I've never embraced the Minnesota Vikings, to my father's chagrin. (Go Pack!) I do love Stampin' Up's Blackberry Bliss though. I'm sad that it's time as an in color is coming to an end soon. I can only hope that it makes it's way into the main line up someday. I chose to use it (a lot of it) for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge. 

Here is my take on the sketch:

My lighting wasn't very good today, so I apologize for the shadows. Also, the ink seems like a different shade than the paper in the picture, but not in real life.  Can't explain it.
