Happy Friday, peeps! It's time for another As You See It challenge, and we have a lovely sketch for you!
I went very literal with the sketch; as I was making this card earlier in the week, I was lamenting that I never use these beautiful retired butterfly dies, so when I saw the sketch, I knew what I wanted to use!
Once I cut out the butterfly from Early Espresso cardstock, the rest was easy to put together! I used some Share What You Love Specialty DSP for my banner...it gives a nice shimmer that you can't see here. I added some silver thread, a sentiment from Happy Birthday Gorgeous and some Nature's Twine in Grapefruit Grove:
I had a little doily already half-cut and I used some sequins from my stash on a piece of Thick White cardstock I embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder, then mounted it all on a Grapefruit Grove card. And since it fulfills the bottom row across of Stamp Ink Paper's Tic-Tac-Toe challenge, I am entering there as well:
So happy you popped in today...I hope that you'll play with our beautiful sketch this week! Show us what you create at the As You See It blog!

ReplyDeleteI just love this card, LeAnne! What a great use of that big butterfly. Love the woodgrain background and the snippet of DSP to set it off. Just gorgeous...as are those blooms!
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly die cut is such a stunner - I'd forgotten all about it! It looks fabulous against the quite dainty florals and Grapefruit Grove.
ReplyDeleteLove your card - a perfect take on the sketch! Looks like your day out was a fun one, such gorgeous florals.
