...Crazy 4 Joanne's Sketch

Happy Saturday, everyone! I don't know about you, but I am pooped after all of the holiday hub-bub! It feels great to take a deep breath and just relax. It's also time for another challenge from our Crazy Girls! Our team member, Joanne Grzelak, has created all of the challenges for this month...hasn't she done an amazing job for us?!? This week's submissions will be utilizing a sketch designed by Ms. Joanne...
Everyone knows that I love me some sketches, so this challenge was right up my alley! I combined several Verve Stamps to create my sample. The butterfly was from the "Enjoy" set, the large circular flourish was from the "Thankful Accents" set, and the sentiment was from the "Celebration of Thanks" set. I used a piece of Cameo Coral Cardstock to create a simple card base, then added some patterned papers from K & Company's Bailey pack. The edges of the triangle panel was pierced using a Mat Pack and a Paper Piercer. The butterfly was stamped, embossed, then watercolored with Cameo Coral and Riding Hood Red Classic Ink. I added some Stardust Stickles to the butterfly, then added some Pearl and Rhinestone accents to the rest of the card. A piece of Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon was added to complete the card.
Now let's see what the rest of the ladies have in store for you today:
That's it for today...thanks for stopping by! It's your turn to create a card or project using this same sketch, and share it with us. Be sure to add your creation to Mister Linky back at the Crazy 4 Challenges Blog post...we can't wait to see what you come up with! Until later...
