Freshly Made Sketches 369

Happy new year everyone!  I am back after a bit of a blogging hiatus to kick off the new year with a new sketch from your friends at Freshly Made Sketches!  We closed out the year with a design team call and we are so happy to announce that we've got three new design team members to welcome to our challenge.  So please hop over to the blogs of Lee Ann Barrett, Judy Rozema, and Jacquie Southas to give them a hearty welcome!  This week our sketch is designed by Amy so let's get to it!





It had been a while since I used a butterfly on a card of mine so I was happy to dig out an old butterfly from my stash.  The colors that I used are inspired by the latest challenge at Sunday Stamps.  I created those vertical layers by using some ancient ribbons in my stash.  Hooray for using up old supplies!



Thanks for stopping by!  I hope we'll see you in the gallery at Freshly Made Sketches this week.  Our design team has created some great cards to inspire you!

Supplies
Paper:  So Saffron, Calypso Coral (Papertrey Ink); Smokey Shadow (Papertrey Ink); Vellum (Graphix);Watercolor Wash (My Favorite Things)
Accessories:  Vivienne Butterfly die, Darla Butterfly die (Memory Box); Natural ribbon, Victoria ribbon (Stampin' Up!); Winter Wonderland sequins (Neat & Tangled)
