Very Bright and Sketchy!!

Happy Saturday!! I am posting several things today, but since they each correspond to challenges (you know I love 'em!), I will have separate blog posts. Here's my first card...


This week's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge was a bold and bright color combo...pacific point, real red, and pumpkin pie. I was at a complete loss for a while...but pulled out my Flight of the Butterfly stamp set and this week's SCS sketch challenge, and things came together. I turned the sketch on its side to accommodate this fun sentiment. I had a good size scrap of this retired polka dot dsp, which is perfect, and I also used some yummy (and current!) Blueberry Crisp dsp for the lower layer. I stamped the pumpkin for the wings first, then the polka dots. This set is a great 2-step stamping set, and I am happy to have it out for spring again! My butterfly punch and dimensionals allow me to give the image flight! I still needed a circle type layer to complete the sketch, so I simply layered punches, and added a glimmer brad with the Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment.

Yes, this card has LOTS of layers...but sometimes, I think it works great! What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by! Inky {{{HUGS}}}
