I was definitely planning on three bright stripes - like a rainbow - but as I was flipping through my dies, I saw the Pinkfresh Curvy Leaves die and realized the biggest die would fit perfectly. From there, this card came together very quickly. For the "any shape" component, a butterfly on the leaves seemed just right. And butterflies are a beautiful symbol of resurrection so I have an Easter card!
The rays of sunshine were done with the Pinkfresh Layered Sunburst stencil set. I am a very late adopter of stencils but now that I've started, I can't stop. Last week, I did a post on repositionable stencil adhesives and couldn't believe I waited so long to use them!! LOVE it - so now when I'm layering three stencils like in this sunburst - it's easy-peasy!!
I hope to see you playing along with us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
