CTMH Blessed April Stamp of the Month Blog Hop!

Welcome to our Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! We will be featuring April's SOTM called Blessed. If you have come here from Shannon's Blog, you are on the right path! This month we have over 50 Close To My Heart Consultants sharing their creations using this month's SOTM and other great CTMH products on their blogs. To visit the whole hop,  just click on the link at the end of the post on each blog to move to the next one!

This card has been kicking around in my head for a little while now and finally came to the light of day when I saw the cute little butterfly in this month's set.



I added a strip of 1x1" colored cardstock squares mounted on a strip of black cardstock and a bow out of our fabulous new Sweet Leaft bulk ribbon (a spool of 10 yards is just $7.95).  The colored cardstock circles are made with our 1.25" punch and the butterflies are each pop-dotted onto their white 1" circles.  Its kind of hard to see but there is a wee dollop of Glitz on the head of each butterfly.  The word smile comes from another stamp set called Take a Picture and has been coated with Liquid Glass for some pop and shine.

If you'd like to make this card, get these supplies:
Stamps:  Blessed (April SOTM),  Take a Picture
