Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #696



Happy Wednesday!
I hope you're having a great week!  We are experiencing some super wet weather.  While rain is normal in a lot of areas of Canada through the summer, rain is not normal here.  We are usually in drought conditions and dealing with forest fires all summer but we've had so much rain in the last week we're getting ready to build our ark!  I actually had to turn our heat on today because it's dark and cold and the temperature is supposed to dip close to freezing tonight.  It's crazy!!!  

We have a brand new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches today.  Our hostess this week is the extremely talented Jen Mitchell!  Her cards are fabulous so please head over to her blog and give her some love!  


I had these butterflies sitting on my desk and thought they would work nicely for this card.  Who doesn't love a pretty butterfly?  My craft room is a disaster and one of my jobs this week/weekend is to clean it up!  I still have a stack of stuff sitting on my desk and I need to put it away so that my desk can actually look clean again!!!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Hammermill White Coverstock, Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight
Stamps: Hello Sunshine (Waffle Flower)
Ink: Detail Black (Pink Fresh Studios)
Dies: Hello Sunshine Piercing (Waffle Flower), Butterfly Blossom (Waffle Flower), Stitched Rectangle (Lil Inkers)
Other: Exposed Brick Embossing Folder (SU)


Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and join in our challenge.  You have until Monday at 3 PM EST to enter your card in this week's challenge.

Have an amazing day!
Jen

  5. Loving these butterflies set again the black and white of your card - really striking! Keep dry or maybe head to the hills so you don't get flooded! Oh hang on, you already head to the hills.....
