Well, holy moly. Some very talented people are revving up a new sketch challenge,
(CAS)E This Sketch, and as soon as I saw their posts yesterday, I knew what I wanted to do. Making something the same day the challenge is posted? I did that with the DYSU challenge yesterday too...now this isn't quite as weird since at least I waited a whole day to post it, but still. Me, early?
O_o
Not right, somehow.
I love my card - and I have some more ideas too. This layout is just fun!
 |
Supplies: papers from MME "Indie Chic;"
scrap vellum;
sentiment stamp from Annabelle Stamps;
Memento Gray Flannel ink;
Spellbinders butterfly die;
embroidery thread;
1" and 1.5" circle punches |
I cut four butterflies out of vellum, lined them up, and pierced through them & the pink circle. I stitched with pink embroidery floss, and brought the thread up at the 'head' and trimmed it to make antennae. Then I adhered the pink circle to the card (hides the pesky stitching at the back this way!) and fluffed out the wings for dimension by folding each side toward the other.
The
linky for this week's #1 CTS challenge is open until noon on Tuesday October 16th, so you have lots of time to play along & link up. I think a lot of people have been inspired - I already see 13 links up and it's not even a full day yet!
xoxo,
Jessi

(Thanks for the 'versary good wishes and all your support and encouragement!! I'm glad you like my little bits. What?!)
This is beautiful! I love your vellum butterfly with the stitching. It goes so well with the patterned papers you chose. Soft and pretty! ann
Gorgeous! If you close your eyes a bit, it looks like the butterfly wings are fluttering! (No, I'm not drinking yet today, lol!) Seriously though, that butterfly is beautifully ethereal!
Oh my gosh, this is so pretty Jessi! I can't take my eyes off of it! You blew this sketch out of the water with beauty and elegance! Wow the use of vellum is pure genius! Seriously, I am so inspired!
Really annoyed that I totally missed this challenge. Love your take on it though. I'm definitely going to try making one of those butterflies - love all the dimension!
