Celebration at Freshly Made Sketches

A month of celebration at Freshly Made Sketches begins with Sketch #1 from 8 years ago.

My first thought for this sketch was the shape....I have many flowers that I rarely use anymore, but I also have some Prima butterflies--glitzy butterflies.  So I chose one and tried some cardstock, but abandoned it for this dark teal butterfly.  The papers are also Prima, from a 6x6 paper stack called Firefly. From there, it was choosing which portion of the patterned paper to use for the "boxes."  The sentiment is from a Power Poppy clear set of magnolias.

Lovely colors and great card, Evelyn.

Beautiful card, Evelyn. I Really LOVE the soft colors and texture of the paper you used. I tend to like dramatic, but this proves that subtle can be just as effective, if not more. Lovely! Thanks for joining us this month at Freshly Made Sketches!

Amazing. I still, after all these years, have no idea how you manage to blend such beautiful colors from paper...You definitely have a very artistic mind.
