Butterfly Greetings PCCCSC #152

It was a chilly start to the day here in Melbourne being a mere 2 degrees Celsius outside at 7am this morning but it is a small price to pay for the sunny day that followed. I don't mind the frosty Winter mornings so much if it means we have a sunny day. It's when it is freezing ALL DAY that it seems really miserable.

And being Wednesday, it is time for another sketch from The Paper Craft Crew. The Team have created a great variety of cards to inspire you and there is even some BLOG CANDY on offer for those living within the United States to win too!!

So without further ado, here is the Sketch:

Being a CAS girl at heart, I really enjoyed playing with this sketch :-) 

Whilst I was in the middle of making this card I had one of those fabulous Brown Boxes that signifies a Stampin Up order arrive which meant I had a difficult decision to make  -  continue making the card I had in mind or choose some new goodies to complete it with. Oh, it wasn't easy -  there is always an excitement around new products isn't there :-) In the end, I made a compromise - I continued with the idea I had started with and added the brand new "hello" from the Greeting Thinlits instead of a stamped greeting - so dilemma over lol! And instead of using a strip of DSP for the background as per the sketch, this time I used the single  broken line image from the Butterfly Basics set to stamp three lines for a similar effect. And you too, can flip over or leave out certain parts of the sketch - just as long as the sketch can be identified in your creation. Another element, the three dots on the side I have changed slightly too: I have used scattered rhinestones instead of lining them up exactly evenly.. it's all about using the sketch to spark your creativity :-)
