It's Friday! Wooohooo! Not only does that mean the weekend is almost here...but it also means it's time for another one of Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge!
I started with a 5 1/4" (square) Wild Wasabi card base. I just loooove the Fall Flowers DP collection...in fact, it's probably my favorite DP from Stampin' Up! I haven't used Garden Whimsy for a while, and I thought it would be perfect for this sketch. I added some Stardust Stickles to the butterfly's wings (shocker, right??).
That's it...a pretty straight forward card. I think this sketch is so much fun...and I'm going to try and make another card using it this weekend. Thanks, Beate...for always coming up with the best sketches!
To see some more gorgeous cards using this sketch, check out what Beate, Charmaine, Jenn, Lori,& Mary Jo have come up with!
I hope you all have a wonderful day! ~Laurie
