Friday Sketchers ~ One Stop Crafts - Roses & Stamp Something - Charmed Somethings
I got my new glasses this afternoon and I'm having a little difficulty focusing in all areas. It's almost as though I'm wearing varifocals for the first time, when in fact I've used them for years and years. I complained a little in the opticians, but they wanted me to try them for a while before they do anything further about it. My last pair were like a dream from the first moment I wore them and I was expecting that these would be likewise. Time will tell if I can get on with them!
This card is for three challenges. The sketch is from Friday Sketchers, One Stop Craft's theme is Roses and Stamp Something requested a Charm on the card. The rose link may seem a little obscure, but I chose the butterfly image from Stampendous which includes roses as part of the Renee Mackintosh style design.
The deep pink backing paper has been overstamped in silver with a Papermania corner flourish and the paler pink rectangle has been embossed with the Cuttlebug Stylised Flowers embossing folder.
I really think that I'm going to have to get myself a daylight lamp as the ribbon was a perfect match in my craft room, but it looks several shades out in the picture.
That Macintosh style butterfly is really beautiful and gotta love the pink! Been mulling over this sketch myself so I may have my attempt to show tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. The butterly is gorgeous and pinks look so pretty.
