Our sketch designer at Freshly Made Sketches this week is our newest team member, Michele Ferguson, with her first sketch! And, no surprise, she has knocked it out of the park! I think it will be wildly popular this week.
At first I didn’t think I was going to have time to play (only two days off between trips) but with a sketch this great, I had tons of ideas in my head. I may have deviated a little from her intention but I really wanted to play with my new Lovely Layers: Butterflies dies from Honey Bee Stamps. I am completely in love with them! I cut them out of Distress Heavystock paper for easy ink blending and colored them using Distress Inks and Bitty Bunny Blending Brushes.
I was aiming at a rainbow vibe so I just decided what order I wanted the butterflies in and got to blending. You can see all the colors listed in my link below. Once I was done with the wings, I debated for a bit on what color to make their bodies. I opted to use my Copics in T1 and T2 for a pale neutral that was easy to do. I chose the Quilted A2 Coverplate to add a little interest and picked a sentiment from the new Always and Forever stamp set (both Honey Bee Stamps).
I hope you will come over and join us this week. If you are out traveling, keep an eye out for me. I think I’ll be at most of United’s major airports at some point this week. Have a great week and see you soon!
