Hello!
Happy Wednesday! I hope you're having great start to your week! We've had a restful and relaxing week so far. It's been really nice. After a busy weekend and some hectic weeks, it's nice to have one that is a little more laid back. There was some room cleaning and reading for the boys today! They're starting to help me more in the kitchen which is nice. Hopefully their culinary skills will improve over the next few weeks!
We have a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week. I am this week's hostess! It's always a treat to be the hostess and check out everyone's cards. I am always amazed at how different all of the cards are! I decided to go with a very square sketch this week! If you don't like squares, you can always use another shape!
I decided to go for a mostly white card! I used some silver butterflies that were already sitting on my desk! One of my jobs this week is to clean my craft room up. I'm hoping to get that done tomorrow. We shall see. I keep putting it off!!
I tried making my three little squares just from plain white paper but they looked too plain so a little embossing was in order! I used the Mosaic embossing folder since that was what was handiest!! I embossed the sentiment in Silver (though I often fight with my silver embossing powder - it always makes a mess)! Voila, a completed card!
Supplies:
Cardstock: Whisper White, Silver Foil
Stamps: LJD Birthday Greetings (MFT)
Ink: Versamark
Other: Mosaic Embossing Folder, Stitched Squares (Lil Inkers), Little Bits - Butterflies (Taylored Expressions), Silver Embossing Powder, Dimensionals
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll head over to the Freshly Made Sketches blog and check out the gorgeous cards the Design Team has created for your inspiration! They are truly incredible!
Have an amazing day!

Great sketch, Jen! The embossed squares add fabulous texture and interest to your card.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used texture on the squares and added the lovely little butterflies. Such a pretty card.
ReplyDeleteThat mosaic looks fabulous on the little squares! Perfect backdrop for the shiny butterflies.
ReplyDeleteFun sketch Jen Brum! Love those sweet silvery butterflies against the textured white! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteFantastic take on the sketch - love how you've changed the number/style of butterflies and the texture in the various squares. That sentiment is a perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteWhite on white combined with black is such an elegant combination - love your card as much as the sketch - and I have to say the sketch is my favourite!
