Hello~
{For My Colourq post scroll down or click here.}
I sure didn't plan on being back so soon today, but I wanted to squeeze this card in for the Crafty Steals Sketch Challenge. It's only open for the weekend. I have always wanted to participate, but with the short window sometimes I can't join in, but today I am going to make it happen!
When I saw the sketch I had in mind my version of the card I wanted to create. My next thought was how to maximize using up some of my scraps. I have a ton of patterned paper and I have a ton of scraps from it. I sure made a lot of work for myself in this creation, but I love the end result. I die cut that butter fly 18 times! Then I punched a smaller butterfly 6 times to layer on top! Using my 1 3/8 circle punch 6 times. I realized after all that I really didn't make much of a dent in my scrap pile. Ha!

I started with a textured Close To Cocoa card base size 5 x 5. I had this in my scrap pile from a card I started and never completed. I stamped CL106 Fantastic Flourishes from Hero Arts in the corners using an ink from Martha Stewart and Momento. My sentiment is from CL272 All Occasion Messages.
I added some gold ribbon from May Arts in three strips.
I attached each set of the butterflies together and then adhered them to my patterned paper circles and bent the wings upward. For a finishing touch I added gems from Hero Arts.
I stamped the Fantastic Flourishes on the inside of my card to dress it up a bit and match the front panel.
I am going to join in these challenges: City Crafter: Pretty Inside and Out, Pixie's Crafty Snippet Challenge, Going Grey with Scrap Creations: Die Cuts, DYSU: Patterned Paper, and the sketch Challenge at Crafty Steals.
Hope you are enjoying the rest of your Saturday and thanks so much for stopping by!
