Freshly Made Sketches 201

Well, hello everyone!  It has been over a week since I posted here. I can hardly believe it!  It's been a busy few weeks for me, both personally and professionally, which hindered by creative time but I figured I better get busy in my stamp room before I forget how all those supplies are supposed to be used!

I missed the Freshly Made Sketches deadline but wanted to play along (late) and ended up combining our sketch with the colors from the Color Throwdown.  That never happens in real life because our challenges both go live on Wednesday but through the magic of procrastination I made these two challenges meet as one!

I hope it's visible in the photo but the bottom most layer on my card is actually embossing paste that I used with a stencil. From there  I added a vellum layer and those gorgeous layered butterflies.

Last week, of course, we celebrated 200 challenges at Freshly Made Sketches.  The response to our challenge was overwhelming and it was a real treat to go through the gallery and see how you all interpreted our sketch.  Many of you were first time players and I hope that we will see you again in the gallery very soon!

In the meantime, to our loyal players I want to send a heartfelt thank you.  It sounds corny but if it wasn't for you then our challenge wouldn't exist!  So here's to inky fingers, piles of papers, and stamps galore!  Stamp on!
