Hello everyone and Happy Saturday! You know what each Saturday brings around here -- a new Sketch Challenge from the Operators at Stamping 411!
There's very little stamping or cutting with today's sketch -- so have fun with this one. It's a great sketch to use when you need a fast card or need to make multiples. Feel free to use whatever shape you want for the punched pieces!
And what shape do you think I used? He, he ... you guessed it! Butterflies!!!!
The colors are Crushed Concord, Perfect Plumb, Marina Mist and Pear Pizzazz.
I used the Big Shot and the new Impression Folder for the great shape and texture on the background layer. The ribbon is 1/2 Poly Twill in Concord Crush. I used the Label Sizzlet and the Wiede Oval Punch along with the Beautiful Wings Embosslet and the Big Shot. Other than the card base (5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded), and Layer One (4 x 5.25"), there really aren't any measurements to share this week. So, have fun with this sketch.
Be sure to check out Stamping 411 to see what the other Operators have been up to this week and to leave a link for your finished creation!
Thanks so much for stoppping by! Have a great weekend and I hope you find some time to create!
Very cute! I love the butterflies too!

That embossing folder goes so well with the embossing on the butterflies. This is a really pretty card.
