There's an ombre challenge going on at Less is More and I thought that vertical layer was perfect for that. I sat at my desk contemplating my inks and sponges and whether I could color a halfway decent ombre background. But then I remembered that I had a stack of patterned paper with some ombre coloring and as luck would have it I found a scrap that was the perfect size for the sketch! I arranged some intricate butterflies on that scrap, added a quick sentiment and I was done. I love it when details come together without too much fuss!
Be sure to pop on over to Freshly Made Sketches and check out our latest challenge - the design team has really got some great ideas for this sketch! I hope to see you in the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Butterflies (7Gypsies); Simple Sayings (Tim Holtz)

Such a pretty gradient, Jen. Those colors are soooo pretty, and the blue almost has a Parisian Breeze look, lol! Love those butterflies in black; they just pop! Wonderful card. Bev
Well that background worked perfectly! The black butterflies are fabulous against it!
WOW how I love how you used the sketch and those beautiful butterflies Jen.
SO pretty, Jen! I love your ombre effect!
The ombre background works perfectly with those beautiful butterflies! Such a beautiful card! I'm back at work for a full 5-day week after 2 1/2 weeks off and it's hard going!
Oh this is pretty Jen!!
I love your ombre background for this! It's a fun twist to see the beautiful colors in the background as opposed to being in the butterflies. Such a pretty card, Jen!
What a great design. Perfect way to combine challenges. Thanks for sharing at Less is More!

This is such a delicate card Jen! Those butterflies are absolutely gorgeous on your wonderful bakground!
Love the yellow to blue ombre panel, great paper. And it looks fabulous with those butterflies, so fresh.
Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
What a totally gorgeous background - it's seamless with the change in colour! I am adoring those fab butterflies!
Beautifully soft and absolutely lovely! And that's the perfect sentiment for the trio of butterflies!
Mmmmmmmm. Eye candy for sure! That ombre background is blending perfection (love the colors, too), and the simple black silhouettes of the butterflies make it so clean. LOVE.
