I just made it to the weekly sketch this week before it switches to the next one. I always enjoy sketches with "threes" in it. I chose to use Autumn colors from the SU new in colors to make a Thank You card. I made this for the principal at my son's school. She has been instrumental in helping to get my son in the right special ed program and be able to keep him at her school. What a relief!!!
Benzi will be happy I made another Autumn card. I used some wonderful dimensional butterfly stickers sent to me from Mrs. Boz - Thanks CarrollAnn. I will be uploading her RAK soon, but my camera is frustrating me right now!!! I thought they would be perfect for this sketch.
I used the swirls ef on the 3 image panels and on the b/g dsp on the main panel for a little texture. Used my square and scallop nesties for the b/fly panels and dsp from the Crusched Curry and Dusty Durango colors for my panels with soft suede matting. Added the crushed curry ribbon on top and the sentiment on the word window and modern label punches and that was it!!
Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to look and let me know what you think if you have a chance.

I'm behind on my gallery gazing again. Love how you used the sketch. The scalloped squares are lovely as are the butterflies. Great sentiment layering too

Lovely colours - fabulous cards...........but I'm thinking that these seemingly innocent butterflies look like some sort of butterfly drones......... invented by some sort of twisted mind in the spy division. Maybe CIA??? Maybe NASA???????? At any rate - I regard this card with great suspicion - because I know that the so called butterflies are really drones - to be sent off to some innocent persons home as a CARD........... I'm really beginning to worry about the RAK you sent me - which I have not yet photographed. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......... I am going to have to do a close examination of that beautiful card that you sent me - because I fear it is not what it appears.....................

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Magnificent w/all those panels, Fruitcake. Your choice of papers is phenomenal and those stickers are so perfect with your design. Oh my, yet another card out of that studio of yours. Gorgeous card.
