Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge #92

This week's WM sketch was contributed by one of the super talented Mischief Makers, Karin  Akesdotter.  I wanted to try something other than banners and finally decided on butterflies. After seeing Kara's, KandrDesigns, beautiful card using leaves, I came up with this design using the WM sketch. I cut a piece of Spring Moss cardstock with my newest to arrive die, Mat Stack 5. First I inked up and stamped just partial images from WM Chicken Wire (love this!) and PTI Text Style. Then I added the leaves, using two colors of Memento Ink--Bamboo Leaves and Pear Tart. For these, I used the Generational Stamping technique from last week's PTI MIM challenge by Ashley Cannon Newell. Maybe I should have added more leaves, especially at the top! The line across the top was a stamp from It's A Celebration. After looking for small butterflies with patterns, I used one from Butterfly Dreams and one from Antique Engravings. Hubby asked about the 'upside down' one but it's just flying down!! They are colored with Copics. The background layer is embossed with Leafy Branch folder by Cuttlebug. To keep with the more rustic look I used copper eyelets (one of my seldom used supplies) and some Rustic Twine. The sentiment is from Frame It by WM.

This reminds me of designs I see a lot on patterned papers and I plan on using it again!

Be sure to take some time to see the other WM entries. There's always lots of inspiration!

Thanks for coming by,
Sharron
