hello...

 Hey there!  Popping in with a clean and simple card for Color Throwdown and Freshly Made Sketches.  What can I say?  Those two challenges go together like peanut butter and jelly for me, lol!  I'm also going to add this to the Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge of spring.  I think my card has a spring-like look to it.   A list of affiliate linked supplies is located at the bottom of this post.  Using my links allows me to earn a small commission at not cost to you.  Thank you for your support.    Here is my card:


As you can see this is a very simple card and I took a bit of license with the FMS layout.  I die cut white cardstock with the largest Folk Edge Rectangle die and adhered that to a card base with foam tape.  I then die cut the Leafy Branch from pink and gold cardstock (I know in the photo it doesn't look like gold, but it is) and adhered them together, but slightly offset.   I fired up my Glimmer and hot foiled all the butterflies from the Small Butterflies hot foil plate in gold and then die cut them with the matching die.  I then picked out the butterfly I wanted to use and colored it simply with Copic markers in V01 and V04.  I added some Nuvo drops in Morning Dew to the body of the butterfly.  I adhered the branch and butterfly to the card front and then dug through all my already foiled Pinkfresh Studio sentiments created with the Everyday Sentiments foil plate and adhered that to finish things off.  



For some reason I am unable to upload the graphic for the Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge.  I hope that I will be able to add it to my post.

What a beautiful and creative use of the sketch! I love the combination of the image, the leafy die cut, the golden sentiment and even the accent around the edges! Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
