BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES

Good morning, and welcome to my blog.  I've woken up to a beautiful morning; the sky is blue, the sun is shining, and the birds are all out singing. 
Today I have another sketch for 
Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2. We have two new sketches each month and a retro sketch from the past, so there's plenty to choose from.  

Sketch #335

When I designed this sketch last year, I had in mind that you could use all the design paper, since some of it would fit together perfectly.  I tried to do this here, but in the end I wanted to colour a beautiful butterfly. Which I did from Pattie's Creations.  Don't forget to drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and see what our designers have created.

Card Recipe:


1. Base: White French Linen card stock.
2. Coloured card: Kiwi Crush by Bazzill
3.  Design Papers: The Mariposa Stack by DCWV
4. The Image:  Butterfly 1 by Patti G images

5. The colour medium used was Copic Ciao.
6. Some of the wings of the Butterfly and the body are coated with Glossy Accents.


7. The tools used:


8. Dies Used by  Tim Holt: Moulded Circles 




9. Embellishments Used: Mini Gold Gems.

10. Inside and the back of the card.


Wishing you all a wonderful week and happy crafting, everyone.
