Happy Friday! Wooohooo!! Today, is Cambria's turn to host the Weekend Sketch Challenge! I combined her sketch with my project for the Verve Project Parade (It's a Girl Thing). I just loved the flower shaped focal piece on her sketch, and knew that this was going to my my Mom's Mother's Day card!
To create my card, I used Verve's Because of You set, my Blossom Nestabilities, Ivory Silk ribbon (ooooohhhh my gosh, is this stuff ever WONDERFUL!!! I can't believe how beautifully it ties!!), K & Co. patterned paper, and some Jute trim.
I had to show you a close-up of the butterfly charm! When I first decided I wanted to add a charm (my Mom happens to love butterflies), I wasn't happy with it at all. The bright silver color just seemed to stick out like a sore thumb on my soft pastel card. I then realized that if I can color my pearls and rhinestones to match my cards...why can't I color my charms??!!? Total light bulb moment!!! So, here you see my finished charm colored ever so slightly with my Willow Copic marker...a perfect match! :-)
I also created a matching Card Organizer using Beate's Splitcoast tutorial...for the Verve Stamps Project Parade! You can see the finished organizer HERE!
