My basket that I store my 6x6 paper pads in is overflowing...and I just purchased three NEW 6x6 pads last week from Shop Pumpkin Spice. How can I resist? I can make a gazillion cards from a single 6x6 pad, and they are only $4.19 each.
I need to get organized in my crafting. So many times I am under the gun to create a last minute card or gift. Time to work ahead a bit! My mom's birthday is coming up and she loves butterflies. I perused my newest 6x6 pads and I think this My Mind's Eye "Fiddlesticks" will work well for her. I also pulled out all of my My Mind's Eye glazed brads from various collections to coordinate with the Fiddlesticks paper.
I am entering my card in the current challenge at Shopping Our Stash: Sketch It!
(Use any sketch, show the sketch in your post, and explain how you used it.)
Supplies:
paper: My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline "Fiddlesticks"
brads: My Mind's Eye Lost and Found 2 Blush "Beautiful Girl" & Indie Chic Citron "Grow"
crinkle ribbon: ballet slippers
butterflies: Cricut cartridge "Wall Decor and More"
eyelet: Making Memories

I took some liberties with this July 2011
Clean & Simple Stamping sketch:
I originally planned to put the sentiment in the bottom left, then decided I liked it on the top right and I moved the horizontal layer (crinkle ribbon) up a bit...I am entering my card in the current challenge at Shopping Our Stash: Sketch It!

So super pretty!!! Love the paper! Lee-Ann :)
you say, "took liberties" i say, "added your own awesome and personal creative twist!" poTAYtoe, poTAHtoe, eh?! :) i love what you've done with this, and i especially love the little embellies you've used for each butterfly's "body" they are all BALANCED without being the same or symmetrical, and that is completely AWESOME!!!! ♥♥♥
Beautiful butterflies and a beautiful card. Love the DP you used and the placement of the sentiment is wonderful. Great sketch too.
Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash.

Such a delish butterfly card June!!!
June - This is a great card! You used your artistic license! Love it! I've seen pearls on the butterfly bodies before, but I really love how you used the 2 other embellies on the other 2 butterflies. And great paper! MME has great DP! Thanks for joining us this week at SOS.
Blessings,
Michelle
