I combined the sketch with this week's CR84FN challenge because I loved the colour combo and had the perfect October Afternoon Thrift Shop DP to use. Since I don't have any banner dies and was too lazy to make one, I opted to use butterflies instead - surprise, surprise LOL!
I had to add a tiny bit of Mellow Moss on the sentiment panel so hopefully the challenge police will let it slide. Needed a little something more so added a couple of Recollection roses from Mike's and I was good to go. Can't believe Mike's was putting them on clearance!! Asked the cashier about it and she thinks they are just clearing out the old colours - sure hope so!
Back tomorrow with my Inkspirations challenge card.

ReplyDeleteCute! You always rock the circle cards (and the butterflies!). So clever to use them for the banner element!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty colors and a lovely design, Marisa!! I'm drooling over that October Afternoon paper. It really gives this card a special look.
ReplyDeleteThe Recollections roses are on clearance at Michael's??? I'd better get my sorry self over to my local store and check it out!!
what a lovely interpretation of the sketch!! Those sweet butterflies fit perfectly! I know, what's up with the flower clearance? and the bling? They finally get some trends when they are happening and then clear them out? They also moved the flowers to a different part of our store so I finally found them again after thinking they were all gone! LOL
ReplyDeleteDarling circle card! Love your scrunched ribbon and the use of butterflies is ingenious for the banner element! That is some of my fave DP...am thinking I need to get another OA pad just to have more of those sweet little rosey papers!
