Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #218

Here is this week's sketch at the Sweet Stop - a great square card shape:
For my sample, I made my square 5.5" and chose to use the Sweet 'n Sassy stamp set called Vintage Postcard.  I had found some airmail dsp in my stash, so thought I'd try for a collage type look, sponging the card stock with some distress inks, using the notebook edge die by MFT, and some images from the Vintage Postcard set.  I also grabbed a couple of images from the SnS set Across the Miles, for the compass and arrows embellishments.  Instead of the tag, I used some washi tape on the outer square background, as it seemed to fit there better.
Here is what I created - I hope you find some inspiration in it:

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...

To create my stencil for the background butterflies, I punched from acetate a small butterfly using a Martha Stewart punch, and sponged the negative space with Distress Inks - either Spun Sugar or Worn Lipstick, movin...
