Fusion Sketch

 


I had this scrap of beautiful shimmery butterfly paper on my desk and that prompted me to make a thinking of you card for a friend who likes butterflies. I always need help getting started, so I looked to the sketch at Fusion for inspiration. Once I decided on the elements I would use, I quickly cut the label out of the lilac cards stock and added some distress ink to the center to coordinate with butterfly paper. I then realized that the lilac label would be lost agains the lilac background, so I added a layer of darker purple paper. The sentiment is from a stamp set that also had butterfly stamps, so I stamped and cut a few of those and added a couple of light aqua pearls for accents. Thanks for stopping by!


Supplies Used: 
Paper: SEI miscellaneous

Minty Chocolate Ice Cream Cards

I always have a hard time getting started when it's time to make another birthday card. Thankfully, inspiration was found at Freshly Made Sketches with Sketch #544. Since this was a card for my son, I chose colors that were more masculine. The patterned paper has a chocolatey, minty feel to it...yum! I made the background strip curved, though you can't really see it that well in my first card. I did make a second card with a landscape rather than portrait orientation and the curve is more prominent in there. The sketch worked well for that one, too. Thanks for stopping by!
