used a sharpie!
This was a great challenge! I had to make a card tonight even though it's getting late. I really liked the sharpie sketch
, so I made one too.
Thanks for looking!

Here's mine! I literally went with the inspiration - all I could see was Haute Couture, so that's what I used. I colored with twinkling H2O's - I wanted it to look 'artsy' - this was the best I could do....

OK - I guess great minds think alike!
I just went back to see what others had done and lacyquilter used the same set as me. Great card Melody!!

Thanks, Karen, for posting yet another great inspiration piece. I struggled a little, then remembered this little lady who sits all by herself most of the time!

I don't have Haute Couture either but liked the solid black outline and went with that for inspiration:

Here is my take on the challenge. I used up some scraps from experimenting.

I thought of Haute Couture first also, the lady was perfect for this challenge piece. I used the dress instead since it had similar lines.

Haute Couture was my first thought, too -- but, alas, not at my house! So this is what I came up with. It's a stretch!

What a great piece, Karen--so many directions you could take with it. I went with the bright backgrounds and black accents. Hope to get back later to check out what I'm sure will be some outstanding uploads!

Here is my card. I was also inspired by Diana to try out twinkling H2Os on this one. I am so glad I did, I love them.

Great challenge! I worked on the background the most, trying new techniques. Here's what I've settled for since I don't have any watercolor paper, which I needed for all the things I tried. I did one with the pastels and buffed it. then I smired the butterfly as I was mounting it on the white backing. I liked it buffed, but it may not have shown up on the scan anyway - or so that's what I'm telling myself!!

background paper
BACKGROUND PAPER
I always print out my photo and take it to the basement and make my card...I hope what I did was okay but when I took this to the basement the print SCREAMED OUT TO ME........USE ME AS BACKGROUND PAPER.........and that is what I did.

a 2nd one for me, too. I love the flow of the inspiration piece, wished I had been able to achieve it more closely. Also the colors aren't as close this time, for sure.
