Ever since Freshly Made Sketches started, I've wanted to play along. But I always seemed to miss the deadline. This week, I made it my personal challenge to complete the card before the deadline. Here's the sketch:
And here's my card:

| Clarice would say these butterflies are "sparktelly." |
I stamped the butterflies on Whisper White, then colored them with markers. Next, I used a two-way glue pen and added the Dazzling Diamonds. I experimented with various shades of blues and yellows before I settled on Marina Mist and So Saffron. I had used bright colors to fill in the butterflies, but they looked way too bright to use for the card base.
I have two workshops scheduled at the end of the month. I think I'll demo this card since it uses one of the SAB stamp sets. What do you think?
