Sketch Saturday Challenge 774 ~ Optional Twist: Add Embellishments

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have a new Sketch Saturday challenge sketch for you.

Sketch 774 has the optional twist to add embellishments.  You don't have to ask my twice since I love adding embellies to my projects.

The patterned papers are Crafter's Companion.  I used Spellbinders 3D embossing folder SES065 to add dimension to the largest circle.  The butterfly is from Pinkfresh Studio's Butterfly Washi and I used Jaded Blossom's Stitched Circles to die cut the circle shapes.

Here's the sketch for your inspiration.

Cut it Up Challenge #302 ~ Starts with a B

Hi Crafty Friends,
So glad you're visiting.  Today I'm sharing my project for Cut it Up's challenge 302 ~ Starts with a B
Here's my Butterfly project.

I have been participating in the PinkFresh Studio's Create and Connect cardmaking events.  During our last event, we were introduced to their amazing Washi tape designs.  In the Fluttering Butterflies product suite, there is a die that matches both the clear stamp set and the Washi tape!  All of the stems and butterflies are cut at once - LOVE IT!!

I also used the PF Daisy Chain coverplate for the background which I ink blended using PF inks.  The sentiment is from the PF Extra Special sentiments set and I added some PF glitter dots.

I hope you'll play along with us.  Just follow the link above.
