This week’s sketch at Freshly Made is so versatile. The sort of sketch you can do very simple or you can step it up as much as you like. Today’s card is very simple. I decided to showcase the beautiful flower from the Butterfly Basics stamp set which is retiring at the end of May. This is one flower, that I have used as a “go to” every since I purchased it and I will miss it when it is gone. I also decided to feature a couple of retiring colours – Wisteria Wonder and Always Artichoke. I embossed Whisper White card using the Layering Leaves Dynamic Embossing Folder and attached it to scored and folded Wisteria Wonder card. I stamped the flower from the Butterfly Basics stamp set onto Whisper White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using Wisteria Wonder, Always Artichoke and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Write Markers. I cut out the image using the largest oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies. The image is attached to a Wisteria Wonder scalloped circle cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies before attaching to the card front. I didn’t use any dimensionals on the image panel because I think it “pops” off the Whisper White without them.

To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped the leaf image from the Butterfly Basics stamp set three times onto the lower left hand corner of Whisper White card using Always Artichoke ink.

So thanks for the sketch challenge Freshly Made it gave me a chance to use these retiring products one more time.

Bye for now,

Kris
