Every Moment

I just love the picture for Friday Mashup this week, isn't he just a cutie?  Sadly I didn't have any penguins to add to my layout so I just did the spotlighting technique on my card.  The sketch came from Freshly Made Sketches challenge - I have to say these are two of my favourite challenge sites and it was nice to be able to do a card that fit with both two weeks in a row!

I haven't inked up my Every Moment stamp set in a while, but knew I wanted to do so for this card.  I was initially going to use the little bird stamp from the set, but changed my mind and used him on another card I will put up later in the week. I love masking and layering the flowers in this set, I keep the masks stuck to the top of the stamp set container because they are fiddly to cut out, but well worth it don't you think?  I used Daffodil Delight and Wild Wasabi, not a combo I use often, in fact I don't use these colours often at all but the did fit with this card.  I added a little Vellum butterfly with some pearls - I have only just recently purchased the card stock weight Vellum and am really happy with it for projects like this as it is more robust.

Happy Stamping
