Hi Everyone!
I'm so excited today because I was asked to guest design for Papaer Smooches SPARKS challenge this week, and I had so much fun with the new sketch! Isn't it awesome???
 
For my card I used the new super Beautiful butterflies dies; Butterfly Duet Dies and the great sentiment set called Bold Buzzwords
 
The deadline is not till next Sunday so you have plenty of time. Before you start creating make sure you check out what the sparks team has created on the SPARKS blog- they are as you probably already know super talented and sooo inspiring!
I will be sharing it for the clean and simple challenge at  Simon Says Stamp Wednesday .
 
Have a great day, hugs, Karin
