Another Sketch, Another Card
I really do love sketch challenges. They’re just such an awesome jumping off point to get creative! This is a fun card I created for my club members tonight. It’s actually a ‘bonus’ project for them as their normal two projects are all done, ready, and prepped for them. But these club members have been awesome and I thought I’d give them a little bonus project this month, just because!
Anyway, here’s the sketch from splitcoaststampers:
And here’s my card:

Here’s my creation for MoJoMonday this week. I’ll also be using this card for a couple workshops as well. I think it’s a fun card and am so thankful that the MoJo sketch inspired me to use this great stamp set again! Hope you like…

Well, it’s been a while but I finally played in both Kristina’s Color Challenge and the Mojo Monday challenge! I tell ya, the Mojo sketch was tricky for me. Once I got the 3 base pieces down I could not for the life of me figure out what to do for the 2 upper layers! But it finally came together. I really, really wanted to add another color to get some leaves in there and that is what kept fouling me up. But I’m happy with the end result – not my best but certainly not my worst! LOL

Sarah’s Card
Sarah shared a card with me that she made for Easter. Does that butterfly look real or what?? I love it! Some of you may have this set (Touch of Nature) so here are the details…
Colors Used: Old Olive, So Saffron (CS), Whisper White
The butterfly – Clear embossed with black craft ink on So Saffron CS, cut out, and then attached with a single glue dot in the middle.
Thank you for sharing Sarah! I’d love to see what others are creating out there as well!
