This week our sketch comes to you from Karren. It is the kind of sketch that inspires just about any combination of color, pattern, or texture. I combined her sketch with the colors at Cupcake Inspirations to come up with this.
Apparently a while ago I used the stencil with some sponged color before using it on today's card. I don't think I cleaned it very good because traces of yellow showed up on my embossing paste. I love how it gives a bit of subtle color to the rays so I decided to use. Luckily yellow is one of the colors I was supposed to use!
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out the inspiration from our Freshly Made Sketches design team. I hope we'll see you in the gallery!

ReplyDeleteIf you hadn't said anything, I would have thought the yellow rays were part of your design :) Fabulous card and a wonderful use of the sketch.
ReplyDeleteThat embossing paste adds such a cool effect (and even cooler with the yellow tint). Love that gorgeous butterfly too!
ReplyDeleteThis card makes me smile!! Your clean up mishap is a delightful mistake!!

ReplyDeleteThe little bits of yellow on the embossing look great and are perfect with the lovely green at the bottom, Jen!!!! And what a beautiful and wonderfully delicate butterfly that is - perfect against the embossed bg!!! Such a beautiful card!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that couldn't have been a better accident! Those yellow rays are one of the design elements that make this card distinct. Love the butterfly and sentiment, too!
ReplyDeleteThose yellow highlights are just gorgeous Jen - something I would never be able to achieve even if I tried 20 times to get it - it has such wonderful effect.
