S&S Sketch Challenge #57
































I had already been working on Mother's Day cards for OWH in pink and turquoise. I decided to make some cards in green and purple as well which really fit for the challenge. I started out with this wonderful butterfly Solo stamp from Michaels. I really liked it because it had a button shape for part of the image. I used the stamped button holes as my guide to punch holes for the jute to go through. The jute is purple to match the challenge card. I hope it does not create too many problems for the shipper, but I really liked the bow. I saved two of the pink cards for our mothers for this year. It feels good to be ahead for once!

  4. Your cards are both very inspiring and pretty, but I'm especially drawn to the purple one......perhaps because purple is my favorite color:)

  6. Beautiful combination on the purple, green and yellow card. I especially like how you interpreted the sketch and made the green band go across the whole card. Very nice!
