My friend Mishie always says "use it up!". If you have a piece of paper on your desk, use the whole sheet in one sitting and then you won't have piles of scraps everywhere! So, I am taking the advice of the pro! Ok ok, so I didn't use a FULL sheet, but a half sheet is way better than a small strip, right?
I found this layout over on Splitcoaststampers as part of the Sketch Challenge (#147). It worked perfectly with the tulips and was so easy peasy to put together!
However, once I was done with the card it seemed to need one more thing. That one thing to make it pop. And there on my work table was my new Posies for You set. (see, sometimes it pays to not put things away... as is evident by the background of my picture! LOL).
The little butterfly was the perfect addition! I stamped it on the back of my designer paper, which is yellow and then created polka dots using my Ranger opaque white pen. Then I attached it to my card with just a speck of glue so the wings are loose, and added a dotted line to show it's little flight path.
Thanks for stopping by!
