While I was trying to think of what to do with this sketch, I remembered my very talented friend Aimes who loves to go rogue on some of her card challenges. With a little smile on my face, I decided to do the same on this one! Haha! I followed most of the sketch...but not to the tee. This is what I came up with. I was inspired by the last winning card to make my own flower for this challenge. I used McGill's flower punches to make this paper flower. Seriously, I have no idea what flower it could possibly be...it's a Jean flower hahaha! I thought it turned out well though. I also haven't used my Quickutz Monarch butterfly die in a while and it was PERFECT for this card.
And since this is a Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge, I opted to use WMS stamps. I used Vintage Label 10 for that gorgeous pink frame. And Fancy Phrases for the sentiment as well as the beautiful label it's on. I hope you like this one. I think this might be my favorite card yet! :) Thanks for stopping by, I'll see you again later!
oh my, Jean this is fantastic!! I just love that flower and butterfly and the soft colours...total eye candy :) TFS
ReplyDeletewow!! thats very pretty!
ReplyDeleteACK, Jean this is amazing! That flower is so gorgeous! Was it a single McGill punch, or different sizes...inquiring stampers (aka ME!) want to know :)!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I didn't post it clearly. The McGill punches I used to make the flower are the Medium Geranium Leaf and Small Geranium Leaf. For the leaf, I used the Birch Leaf punch. :) Enjoy making your flowers!!!
ReplyDeleteJean.......this has to be my favorite of yours as well! Simply stunning my dear - and that butterfly is equally as pretty as the flower! :)
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty! Love the flower layered over your butterfly! :)
ReplyDeleteAmazing card - so beautiful! This card would make anyone feel better :)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Jean, you just continue to knock my socks off! I can see why you are so happy with this one. I wish I could figure out how to use patterned paper so beautifully, it really is a talent of yours! I predict a Top Mouse award in your near future!
ReplyDeleteI think this is my favorite as well. Love the soft colors and pretty papers. It is nice to add your own touch to a sketch. They are open interpretaion. IT would be boring if they all looked like cut outs. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Gorgeous Jean! love all the layers - the ribbon, the pearls and the stamps you used - not to mention the butterfly and giant bloom!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh it might be my favourite of all time too.....just scrumptious.
ReplyDeleteWow!! This is beautiful, such texture and layers, and a beautiful pearly swirl.
ReplyDeleteJaw dropping gorgeous! WOWZERS!! I do love this card!
ReplyDeleteWow, Jean, this card is stunning! What did you use for the flower middle? It is marvelous and blingy and downright beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea! I used glass beads for the middle of the flower. You can use any blingy bead. I think I got them at JoAnn's.
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I LOVE this card. Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs and smiles
Oh My Goodness, this is gorgeous, just beautiful
