Here we go again! Time for another challenging sketch from Freshly Made Sketches! Lesley totally threw me for a loop with this one. I have a second card I started on my desk for this one because I wasn't sure the first one really worked. Of course I got lazy and distracted, so it's still sitting there in pieces. I'll try to finish it up and post it this week. Here's the first one though:
I had some butterflies left over from our technique project at club, so I decided to put them to use on this card. I thought they would work okay for the circular elements. I tried to add a bit of dimension to them by curling up the wings a bit and added a solid punched one behind them. To add some interest to the background, I used the diagonal plate for my Simply Scored board. I'll admit that it isn't my favorite card and I could tell from Jason's reaction that it wasn't his either. LOL They all can't be winners, right? :)
I hope you'll join us this week and show us just what this sketch can do!
I LOVE the colors you used Rita!
