A Fly By ~ Weekend Sketch Challenge #79

I procrastinated by one day on a swap that I'm in. I only need to make one card, but I was a slow poke. Tiffany, if you're reading this, it's in the mail today to you. :)

I did a workshop with this great butterfly set, and when I woke up I wanted to play. I buzzed over to Beate's blog, and saw the weekend sketch challenge and decided to play with that. The sketch came courtousy of Jenn Balcer, and if you want to play along, make sure you post a link there! I stamped with color on the Apricot panel, which I wouldn't normally do. Then i took some versamark and irridecent ice embossing powder and embossed a piece of regal rose cardstock, which I then cut into a butterfly with my sizzix. Then, I was bored.... I tried ribbon for the butterfly body and it just wasnt cutting it. So, I took a piece of celery cardstock and cut a hairline piece, then I just rolled it up, folded it in half, and kept rolling. I pulled out a pretties kit, and added 3 beads. (that took a minute and a stick pin to pull it through the end). Once I had the butterfly body done, i used crystal effects to stick it to my butterfly and glue dots to stick that on my scallop circle layers.

I finished it off with some dazzling diamonds "edging" around the celery cardstock and in the "dots" of the background butterflies. This is very sparkly in real life.

I hope you all have a great weekend. We're getting the camper ready!
