It is Wednesday and time for another sketch from Freshly Made Sketches! Jen T. is our hostess this week and has this fun three-panel sketch to challenge everyone. It took me a bit to figure out what I wanted to do with my card, but with the help of my friend Marla I finally settled on some embossed panels. What do you think?
I had to use the adorable Butterfly Prints set. I haven't had it very long and it will be retiring at the end of this month. :( Of course I'll keep it because I tend to use retired stuff if it strikes my fancy. I love having lots of options!
Stamps: Petite Pairs, Butterfly Prints
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo
Paper: Baja Breeze, Rich Razzleberry, Island Indigo, Brights DSP stack
Tools/Accessories: Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Beautiful Wings embosslit, Butterfly punch, scallop oval punch, oval punch, Island Indigo Baker's Twine, In Color Dotted brads, Basic Pearls
On a personal note, this pregnancy is winding down and so am I. This week I've been really sick with a sore throat and aching ears, so I'm on antibiotics and finally starting to feel a little better. Unfortunately my blood pressure has been up, so I have to get labs done today to test for pre-eclampsia. Cross your fingers that all goes well with that. I heard my doctor throw out bed rest when we were talking about it and I would be so unhappy for that to happen. I already told Jason he'd have to buy me a mattress for my stamp room floor! :)
Come play along with us this week! Be sure to stop in and say hi to the other design team members and our awesome guest designers!
It looks beautiful Rita!

ReplyDeleteI think the embossed panels are so pretty here! Lovely card! Prayers for you. Try to rest where you can, please! Hugs, Rita!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I love the colors, embossed background, and the tiny butterfly by your sentiment. Lovely! Take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteRita, I love what you did with this sketch! The colors, butterflies and textures are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love this one! That is one of my new favorite color combinations. BTW, did you happen to see your blog hit counter? CONGRATS!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI think the embossed panels are fantastic! I hope you get a good report from the doctor. I'm having a hard time imagining you stamping from a mattress in your stamp room. (Although I don't doubt you can do it)!
ReplyDeleteI love your card Rita ... the embossed panels are perfect here, as is the butterflies and pretty colour scheme!!!
ReplyDeleteI bought that butterfly punch as soon as it hit the clearance rack. :-) Love it! also really enjoyed how you used it with the sketch card.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Karen
(Good luck with your lab work)
VERY Pretty!!
ReplyDeleteRita, this card is so pretty! I love the colours you used - and that little butterfly on the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteHope all goes well with the lab results. Rest when you can - stamping is considered restful, no? ;)
Awesome colors
