It's a dreary rainy day here so I wanted (needed) color & sunshine on my card. I started by stamping my floral bg in watermark ink onto the glossy stock then embossed with Clear powder. Now for the fun! Randomly sponged a variety of (to me) joyful colors over the entire piece. I cut my panels 1 1/2" x 3" and added a narrow frame in metallic black. (I like to use Elmer's FLEX glue when adhering multiple layers as it really does stay flexible and keeps the card from feeling like a BOARD). I finished with a dimensional butterfly and a wild scattering of iridescent sequins.

Gorgeous!! A lovely take on the sketch. The colors are beautiful. Terrific results with the emboss resist technique. Very nicely done! It's a nice break from holiday cards. Thanks for playing in the Sketch Challenge. TFS

This is such a BEAUTIFUL, bright card!!! I need these colors too. Sometimes life can get dark with weather conditions or even circumstances. It's great to see something as bright and airy, and filled with joy as this. Thank you so much for adding this to today's gallery!! :>)
