Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 191

Good morning!!  It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the very end of this post to enter your card. The links will close in two weeks, next Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time). Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC191 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.


I kept my card really clean and simple - I'm on a kick, what can I say?  This beautiful pop of red butterfly is from LJD Blissful Butterflies and cutting it out was a snap with the coordinating LJD Blissful Butterflies Die-namics.  I picked up the color combo from this week's ColourQ #202 - color challenges are my best friends when I'm not using patterned paper.



The butterfly is stamped on Smooth White Card Stock with Wild Cherry Ink and then I cut out a couple Fishtail Flags STAX Die-namics in Steel Grey and Banana Split Card Stock.  A few yellow pearls and BAM!  Done.

I added another Wild Cherry butterfly inside the card and then overlapped the sentiment in Black Licorice Ink.


Be sure to visit the Sweet Sunday Stampers - They have more eye candy to get your creativity flowing.
