I have a little confession to make. The FMS design team likes to joke a bit because one of us doesn't like to see circles on sketches. And a few weeks ago we learned that another of us doesn't like things that are centered. Well in the spirit of true confessions I will say that three of something on a sketch kind of freaks me out! I fretted for several days over this sketch because I'm never quite sure what to do with those three things. Are they supposed to be three of the same thing? Or three different things? Don't ask me!
I started out with an entirely different card than what you see here but with the help of the colors from Stamp Ink Paper and a little flip of the sketch, this card was born! Whew!
The ladies from Freshly Made Sketches obviously had no trouble with this sketch as you will see when you visit there. I hope to see you in the gallery later!
Thanks for stopping by!

These butterflies are just gorgeous! Love the pink with the gold! And I hear you with those three squares.....I had to make them askew!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I noticed about this beautiful card, were those dies...two of my most favorites ever! Then I was drawn into those stunning butterflies. Oh. My. Goodness! They are beyond gorgeous. The hint of gold is such a great idea and a great take on that color challenge too. Fantastic card, my friend, fantastic!! Bev
