I just love the Mojo sketch this week. Square cards are so much fun to make I really should make more. The first thing that popped into my mind was to use a butterfly or several butterflies in the circle. I apologize in advance as I have been overdoing it on the butterfly front lately!! I'm blaming it on the torrential downpours we've had over the past three weeks (though today is gloriously sunny - finally!) for my desire to use butterflies as they remind me of sping. I promise to sign up for a Butterflies Anonymous meeting along with a Swiss Dots Anonymous meeting LOL! When I think of butterflies I think of soft colours or bright colours. In this case, I went to one of my "go to" colour combinations: Rose Romance, So Saffron and Certainly Celery. Out flew (no pun intended LOL) my Verve Fluttering By set (may have to get a second one as a back up because I'm going to wear this one out!) as well as my Swiss Dots embossing folder (backup folder needed here too LOL!). I used my scalloped circle and circle nesties and added the butterfly. The butterfly is actually stamped in Apricot Appeal as the Saffron wasn't quite the right colour. Some Swiss Dots to pick up the polka dot theme of the butterfly, some bling for the butterfly trail and bows on the sentiment called it a card.
Thanks for keeping me company today :D Up next, Mercy's sketch..
