Good afternoon fellow crafters and welcome to the latest sketch challenge over at STAMPlorations.
I got all springlike with my card for this sketch, a bit premature in these parts. Someone didn't tell the snow it was spring! Still we need a little spring colour after all the greyness of this winter!
This is my card
and this is the sketch for the next 2 weeks.
I used my freebie set from last months Stamp Club, Trendy Butterflies for my card along with some leaf stamps from a Kaisercraft set and some swirls from a set by Artemio. This is a One-Layer card but I felt it was a bit flat after I had finished stamping and masking so added some bugle beads for the butterfly's bodies. I used DI in Spiced Marmalade, Salty Ocean, Mown Lawn and Shaded Lilac to stamp and washed over the butterflies with water to soften them and over the leaves to add extra dimension. The finished panel was mounted flat onto a matching lilac base card.
