I knew this sketch was going to be about the paper. I generally don't use a ton of patterned paper so why not pull out a favorite pad and use it on this card!! That part was easy, but then I started thinking sentiments. First I thought about stamping in the square. Then I thought about a long sentiment across the bottom. Finally I accidentally stumbled on this older square happy birthday and it fit perfectly!
Then it needed something more - I really like dimension and it was very flat. A butterfly seemed like a perfect addition given the floral patterns. I LOVE this older layered butterfly from Birch Press - his little antennae are my favorite.
I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches!
