Hi! Today I am sharing my third card of the month for CASE Study . The inspirational card that CS selected, is one of my favorite cards I have ever made 🙂 So, today I am also sharing the sketch, and you will find it at the end of this post.
This card has an embossed background, and the focal point is a HA digi-butterfly that I colored using Copics. The sentiment and pearls complemented the card.
For my second card, I used the sketch from the first one as my starting point. This time, I embossed a HA Cling flower on white cardstock, and added color to the background with some of my favorites colors of Distress Inks (Scattered Straw, Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo and Broken China)… I splashed it with water to create a little texture. I added a butterfly, some silver dots and a sentiment as well…
Here is the sketch:

Had to stop by and say how absolutely GORGEOUS that butterfly is on the first card. The colors are brilliant and totally pop against the black. The neutral base gives the butterfly even more focus. A great balance of vibrant color and calming neutral!
Beautiful cards.

Both cards are very beautiful – heard about your blog site from Jennifer McGuire’s blog. Thank you for the inspiration – I just purchased a big set of 72 copic markers this weekend and can hardly wait to give this a try!
