PP774 Sketch from Jan

Happy Sunday, all!  It's Jan's turn to be our Paper Players hostess and she has a sketch for us! Boy, I love a good sketch, and this one definitely fits the bill:


I haven't done a vintage-style card for a while, so I searched through some of my papers and found this pretty paper pad from Kaiser Kraft called Pen & Ink.  So here we go:


All these papers except for the Basic Gray panel, including the sentiment, come from the Pen & Ink pad.  The butterflies are embossed, so there's some pretty shine to that panel!  I added some embossed stitching to the gray panel as well as some Black & Vanilla gingham ribbon:


I did something a little different by adding another piece of paper from the same pad to the inside; the sentiment is an old Waltzingmouse stamp, and I added some subtle stamping with a Tim Holtz butterfly stamp:

This is such a great sketch--I am sure I'll be using it again! I hope you'll check out what the design team did with it as well, over at the Paper Players blog!  And we hope you'll share your creation with us as well!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Such gorgeous butterflies, LeAnne - and that script! Of course, you know I love the addition of that grey - and I see our favorite stitching, too! Why don't we use dsp on the inside of our cards? This is such a great idea especially for stamped sentiments! Really wonderful...

LeAnne, this is so beautiful!! You are the Queen of vintage cards. The black and white is so elegant and those papers are perfect. I love the butterfly panel and the gingham ribbon. This is going to make someone smile when they open the envelope!

Layers of loveliness, LeAnne! Right down to that sweet snippet of gingham ribbon!
