Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It. As always, a sketch challenge follows a speed challenge. This one is super, with lots of room for creative interpretation.
I stamped three small butterflies from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle using Tuxedo Black. I coloured them in with Lemon Lolly, Lemon-Lime Twist, and Peach Pie Stampin' Blends before die-cutting them out. These became the three circular elements of the sketch.
I die cut a small butterfly from Lemon Lolly cardstock and attached that to the first butterfly. I added some Peach Pie gems along the thorax.
Using Lemon-Lime Twist ink, I added in some text using one of the stamps from Elements of Text, then some dots is Peach Pie from the Beautiful Butterflies. Using a blending brush, I also lightly added in some Lemon-Lime ink around the stamped area.
The sentiment, from Hooray for Surprises, was stamped in Tuxedo Black. Then the whole panel was matted onto a piece of Lemon Lime Twist, then attached to the Basic Black card base.
The whole team would love to see what you do with this sketch. You can see what the rest of the team have done, and link up your entry, at the As You See It Challenge page.

I love anything with THREES, so this is right up my alley! Those butterflies are just delightful!
ReplyDeleteThis is Jan Clothier at her best! I love the column of script, splatters and blended ink you've created for the butterflies to display on. The butterflies themselves are so colourful and 3D with the gems along their thorax and the double wings! It looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so very pretty. I like butterflies and love the color yellow. Thank you for showing the card. Lora
ReplyDeleteI love this card. Butterflies are a favorite of mine. We do not seem to have many. Over the years there has been less and less each year. So bad that we only see maybe one or two. thank you for sharing this card.
ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are just lovely Jan and the double layering adds to the sense of movement, but you are killing me with that text stamping - I'm going to have to have that stamp, it's clearly very useful!
ReplyDeleteI do love a butterfly & this little trio are just fabulous Jan! Such a great take on my sketch
