Fun inspiration piece this week. I liked the white background with all the bright colors on it, so I took that as my inspiration and picked out a bright color challenge and a sketch challenge I hadn't done yet, so here it is.
I think maybe I should have done the "Wonderful" part in either Pink Passion or Lavender Lace, the Gable Green is kinda getting swallowed on here. And I so totally need to just throw away my Dazzling Diamonds glitter, I have it all over the place and just a teeny bit on the flowers on the butterfly wings. I hate how it gets all over, I just can't seem to reason with it. Just the butterfly bodies are adhered, so the wings stick up a bit.
For the angled white pieces (they're two triangles pointing at each other, might not be able to tell since it's under the sentiment), I cut a piece of white cardstock the same size as my card front. I made tick marks on both sides, 1/2" from the edges on the left, and 1 1/4" or something like that on the right. I did the first diagonal cut and then held onto both pieces and put it back on the paper trimmer to make the second cut, so my triangles would be the right shapes. Then I had scraps to stamp the butterflies on.
