You will have until Midnight EST April 29th to leave your comments and the winner will be announced on the So Suzy blog and Facebook page on May 4th. 

I served on the So Suzy design team for 2016 and I had so much fun with their snarky stamps and then in Jan 2017 I got to meet Suzy IRL at CHA, she is so fun!

This card actually uses four different stamps by So Suzy


To create my card I started with a Basic Gray card base and a white panel cut to 3 3/4 by 5 1/2.  I used Versafine Clair in Morning Mist and the Original MISTI to stamp the Flower Flourish over the entire panel, next I stamped both the Sm Solid Butterflies and the Lg Solid Butterflies randomly and sparingly on the panel as well. I added some dots to the butterflies with a white gel pen so they would stand out a little more. to finish the card I used the Birthday Simple and stamped it in Versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing on a Basic Gray strip and then attached it to the front of the card with foam tape. 

Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous Suzanne who started it all
