CAS Colours and Sketches 147

One of the many advantages of a long weekend is the chance to spend more time in my craft room, so I've taken the sketch challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches on.


I guess Christmas trees was the obvious choice but the early arrival of summer on this Labour Day holiday put Christmas thoughts out the window temporarily and butterflies came in instead!




Originally, I intended to make the front butterfly Watermelon Wonder on White with a Watermelon Wonder under-butterfly, so I stamped the other butterfly off first to make it paler. However, the difference in colour just wasn't enough to make them stand out from each other, so I clear embossed onto Watermelon Wonder and this worked much better.

Ingredients
Card: Whisper White, Watermelon Wonder
Stamps: Butterfly Basics, Summer Silhouette
Ink: Crumb Cake, Watermelon Wonder, Mint Macaron, Tip-top Taupe, Versamark
Other: Clear embossing powder, dimensionals, Butterfly thinlit, pearls, Early Espresso Stampin' Write marker.
