You are not even going to believe it - these little panels in the background? Yeah, they are different sizes, right? So in my random measurement on my paper, I ended up cutting them all equal. What? I can't cut a rectangle into equal thirds when I try, so why the heck did it happen when I threw caution to the wind? Hmm... I'm using a couple different stamp sets today from Taylored Expressions - the flowers are from Discover Your Wings, the butterfly (and butterfly die) from New Beginnings, and the sentiment from Garden Party Blooms. You know, a little of this, little of that. I picked up some new Basic Grey Hopscotch paper and buttons and have been dying to use them! I stamped the flowers in Dark Brown Fluid Chalk Ink and then cut the panel out with a Labels 11 Nestabilities Die.
Thanks for taking on the challenge this week!
Karen

Another great sketch this week Karen and your card is awesome! I struggled with the stinkin' rectangles too! LOL. My total Type A self finally had to print the sketch out at exactly 4.25x5.5 inches and measure the damn panels on the sketch and then just cut them exactly to get it to look right, because my random cutting just looked like crap - yours looks great!!
This is stunning Karen!! Love the blue circle under the butterfly...it really pops!!!
Beautiful card, Karen! Love the addition of the butterfly! Thanks for posting the sketch early on FB yesterday! Love that!
Gorgeous!!!!... I think we all had the same panel issues... if you could've seen me trying to figure out how to get my three panels evenly spaced with the middle one being bigger than the top and bottom one.. well!!.. you would've just shaken your head.. although I'm sure you can tell by my current waffling that I obviously over thought the whole process.. ahhahaha.
FUN sketch AGAIN!!!>.. and of course GORGEOUS creation by yourself. LOVE the sweet butterfly on the blue... she looks beautiful.
oohh and YES you did see a COPIC!!! Aren't you Proud!!??? :D

Wonderful card Karen! I really like the color combo you used and your pretty butterfly!
Wowzers, Karen, I love this card, it looks so springy!!! I love the littel bow and butterflies! I didn't even notice in the sketch that the BG panels were different sizes, I'm bad...mine are all the same size! LOL!!
This is so sweet Karen - love the butterfly. I have to tell you my panels ended up all the same size too; clearly I didn't look closely enough at your awesome sketch!!
Loved this sketch!! Will be using it again. The cards are gorgeous.

Karen- I've admired your work from afar for quite awhile now! I too have started a picture of the day scrapbook for this year and am always inspired by your beautiful photographs! I've also seen your card sketches around blogland and finally decided to give it a try! Thanks for sharing all of your talent!
I realized when I made my card last week that it would be posting after the deadline ... here it is anyway.
