As this work week comes to an end, I hope you find the energy to play in one more challenge. The talented Tammy, over @ Sketch Frenzy Friday, has an unique sketch to push your creativity.
here is what I made:
I used things that I love. Circles, butterflies, buttons, flowers, and burlap-type ribbon, and a lot of machine stitching. I do know that not all girls are girly girls, so this card is for them.
The card base is baked brown sugar cardstock. I used two different pattern papers from the same collection: Etc. dsp.
The circles are made from soft suede card stock and Etc. dsp. I used the ruler print.
The butterflies were cut from soft sky cardstock and stamped with en francias inked in crumb cake classic ink. The centers are different. I thought it would add a bit more visual interest. I used the trio blossom punch for two of the floral shapes and the floral fusion die for the 4 petal flower. The bottom flower and the top button are created with clay and the Buttons and Flowers molds. The center butterfly has a simple floral shape with a pearl center.
All edges are sponged with crumb cake classic ink. (all edges: the panels, the butterflies, and the blossoms).
I love adding machine stitching to my cards. And this card is sporting some stitching {smile}. I did a simple border around the center panel. I also did a quick stitch through the strips of burlap ribbon.
The butterflies are adhered to the card front with dimensionals. The floral centers are adhered to the butterflies with dimensionals
I added a simple sentiment tag. I really wanted to add a tiny tag, but its retired. So, I have to move on, and embrace these current products. I added the simple 'Thanks' to the lower wing of the middle butterfly.
Once the card was complete, I spritz it with some smooch, and a few splatters of crumb cake ink.
Thank you for looking! Now head to your craft space, and share with us what you create with our sketch over @ Sketch Frenzy Friday.
