Hello everyone! Today for the Midnight Madness Sketch, I went really out of my comfort zone and created an "orangish" card!I stamped the image from the Our Daily Bread designs May release, As You Graduate with Archival Sepia and wanted to just give the image a hint of Sepia tone, but since Archival is water proof, I couldn't water color it, so I added some SU! Markers and Ranger Inks to get close in color. I paired the image with a Bazzill brown base, and designer paper from BasicGrey in Origins, Porcelain and Sugar Rush. I paper pieced the butterflies by stamping them again on the dotted paper and cutting out and mounting above the stamped image. The flowers are Primas. For the tab parts of the sketch, I stamped the sentiment three times to be able to cut the words apart and I distressed each tab with Distress Ink, then I added the tassle.
I am linking this to the following challenges:
Crafty Calendar - Great Outdoors
Crafty Cardmakers - Distressing
Whoopsi Daisy - As You Like It
Flutterby Wed. - Butterfly
Creatalicious Challenge- Flowers & Wings
Alphabet Challenge - B is for Butterfly
Thanks so much for looking! Be blessed!
