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!

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
