Time for another Freshly Made Sketches Challenge! This sketch is courtesy of Lesley Croghan again! She is seeing double and I see a lot of great cards in our future!!
This was the second project I made over the weekend. After convincing my boys that I “needed” to stamp to make Valentine’s, it was a bit harder to convince them I needed to make another card. Needless to say, this had to be fast! While I have all my lovely SAB papers and new mini items, the Spice Cake DSP called out to be used. Let’s face it…these colors are right in my happy zone! I let the paper do the work and simply cut two butterflies out with my Big Shot, one in Early Espresso and one in the DSP. I channeled the talented Ann Schach of The Stampin’ Schach (without her trademark distressing) and rolled up the little banners. So easy and yet such a great addition! The button has a little piece of Very Vanilla paper threaded through to finish it off.
Again, a bit short and sweet on the post. I’m so glad I got a little time to stamp while I was home but I’m back to studying. This week’s “fun” includes lots and lots of engine out work along with other exciting emergency procedures. Suffice it to say that United pilots are very, VERY well prepared if unusual things occur!! At least we are finally in simulators. My landings after three years off are still good…what a relief!! There are many things that pilots use to judge an excellent flight but we know you passengers really just use the landing! *smile*
Make sure you drop in to see the work from the rest of the design team! I always love seeing the different interpretations of the sketch! Hope you can play along this week.
Thanks for dropping by today. I’ll see you again soon!

I’m still amazed that you fly airplanes. 🙂 Great card. I have been hoarding my remaining Spice Cake paper because I love it so much. I’m glad you brought it out to play as it makes me smile to see it!
Absolutely beautiful! Love your card. Great DP and love the butterfly.
The banner is sweet! And that Spice Cake looks as fabulous as always! Great butterfly – looks like the butterfly landed perfectly too 🙂
Beautiful card! I love the jumbo butterfly!! Might be on my list of things I need!!!
Love that butterfly Jen, it is always a favourite! The Spice Cake Paper is lovely and your accent (a la Ann) is perfect! Hope studying is going well!
This is absolutely gorgeous Jen! I love the layered butterfuly with the button!
Awesome use of the Spice Cake DSP! Love the way the dark DSP plays against the Pool Party white space on the right. I’m hoarding mine, but really should try to use it up before May 31st. 😉
Oh so gorgeous Jen … love these colours together and that fabulous butterfly is the perfect embellishment!
This is lovely…what a pretty butterfly!!
Wow! Another gorgeous card. I love Spice Cake, and the brown/pool party combo. The butterfly is fabulous. Great job with the sketch.
A beautiful, fresh card, Jen! An excellent choice of patterns! And your banner is just perfect! Thanks for the shout out!
