It's time for the new sketch at The Sweet Stop, SSS191, the last one this year...
Now that Christmas is over, I am reaching for my trusty butterflies again. I love cream card stock these days... and textures...
I didn't feel like coloring, so I decided to do some heat embossing... the copper looks great, don't you think?
