No...I didn't lose my paper piercing tool...

I just DIDN'T WANT TO PIERCE...think I am getting sick? LOL!!!

Hi everyone! Happy Wednesday! Here is my card for today's Sketch Challenge on SCS, SC221!!

For my card, I used one of my most favorite sets from There She Goes, Nature of Friendship!! I LOVE the silhouette look of this set and there are like a gazillion possibilities with all the stamps that come in this!!

I am SO going to miss Kiwi Kiss when it is gone, so I decided to do a monochromatic look with Kiwi Kiss DSP from Walk In The Park, as well as Kiwi Kiss Cardstock. I embossed the cardstock with the Flourish Texturz Background from SU!/Sizzix, and all the panels of Kiwi Kiss were sponged with, you guessed it, Kiwi Kiss ink!!

I added some black brads from American Crafts, and instead of ribbon (wow...no piercing AND no ribbon...yikes!!), I added some butterflies from the Martha Stewart Butterfly punch. I also added two coats of Candelight Shimmerz to the butterflies, and it is super shimmery in real life!!

Have you heard about the Going Away Party over at There She Goes? NO??? Well, it's pretty fabulous...here are the deets right from Jessica, our fearless leader's, blog!!!

"With the release just around the corner, you will notice that 4 familiar faces won't be with us during the sneak peeks. Bev, Denise, Stephanie and Wendy have been such an amazing and inspiring part of this team and I am so sad to see them go. I am so proud to have had them on my very first DT and they will always have a very special place in my heart!
