SSSC23

Isn’t this a fun sketch!!!  I generally do 4 x 5.5 or square cards, so the rectangular shape of this card got me excited.  Sometimes the results amaze you.  This is the Sweet Sunday Sketch #23.

IMG_0603-1 copyCI55swatchI had a bunch of scraps from my previous attempt at the Color Inspiration #55, so I decided to use them up.  I’m also on a butterfly kick.  I love this punch from EK Success.  I think it is such a great butterfly.  I punched them from patterned paper and then backed them with the rust colored paper to give them a little more structure so the wings would curl.  Since Caardvarks wants cards with windows, I replaced one of the butterflies in the line with a punch out and placed the cream butterfly on the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Materials

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics Paper, DCWV
