Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge 23

Hi everyone!  As you are reading this I am currently in Minneapolis with 3 of my girl friends for Scrapfest!  Today I have a full day at the Mall of America where Scrapfest is held, doing make and takes and have a Tim Holtz class!  It's going to be so fun!  I don't think I will be able to write about Scrapfest while I am here, I won't have the time!  It's tiring standing in lines and shopping all night you know!!! I want to let you know that I won't be able to comment on your blogs while I am gone, I won't have a chance!  But I will be doing a random giveaway to someone or someones who leave me comments while I am gone!  I don't care if you win a lot and feel like you shouldn't, I am blessed by all the times you do comment!

Today I am here with my card for Wee Memories Scrappy Saturday Challenge!  Our sponsor this week is Your Next Stamp!

The challenge this week is SOS:  String, Orange and Scallops!  I actually made this card for tonight!  I am having dinner with a bunch of my Hero Arts Flickr friends and some of the ladies from Hero Arts, Jennifer McGuire and Shari Caroll! Can you feel my excitement?  We are doing a card swap and are to bring 2 cards.  I made this card for that with my friend Kate over crafting too.  Kate and I both realized that this card would work for this challenge!  How awesome is that?  Totally by accident! 

In case you are wondering the string is the antenna!   I embossed the kraft cardstock with my Seeing Spots Cuttlebug folder than stamped the raised dots with my friends def background stamp! I colored the butterflies with my prisma and derwent pencils!

I really hope you can play with us this week, you have until Friday September 24th at 11:59pm PST!  For more info please click here.

Beautiful! But I'd really love to know how you were able to stamp only on the raised dots! I'll have to experiment now. Thank you for sharing a new technique. At least it's new to me as I've not seen it before.
