It's time for another Crew Challenge for Kitchen Sink Monday, and this week new Crew Member Connie McCotter is our hostess. Connie's challenge is to have an image on your card that is cut out. It can be the main image, or several images... just have something cut out with scissors!
Out of all the Kitchen Sink Stamps images, I think this gorgeous butterfly will always be my favorite thing to stamp and cut out. And I love to emboss the third layer of stamping with clear powder to make it really stand out, so that's what I did today pairing my image with this paper from Daisy D's and our Throwdown colors from this past week. I also knocked out two other challenges with this card by using Jen delMuro's Sketch for You to Try, and the Our Creative Corner challenge to create something for Mom!
Stop by and see what the other Kitchen Sink Crew members have "cut out" for today!
