We have a fun sketch challenge for you this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! Check it out!
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11, HEAVY Whisper White…have I mentioned I love this stuff?
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Wisteria Wonder was stamped with You’re in my Thoughts with Black Stazon Ink.
- The green plaid Cherry on Top DSP was cut 1-1/2 x 4, then cut with a flag end. Under it is a 1/2 piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock and then a Perfect White Accent.
- I first cut the Whisper White oval with the Oval Framelits, then I placed the hydrangea flower image with Black Stazon where I wanted it. I watercolored with the Pink Pirouette, Wisteria Wonder and Marina Mist Stampin’ Write Markers for the trio of colors. The stem is Wild Wasabi and Cucumber Crush Stampin’ Write Markers and the AquaPainter again. I popped up the oval on the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Finally, I stamped the butterfly with Black Stazon Ink and watercolored with So Saffron Marker, then cut it out and placed it on the flower.
LOVE how this turned out! Now, make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week with the sketch over on Create with Connie and Mary! And remember, we’re getting ready to start our July Mini Session. Don’t miss out!

BEAUTIFUL! I really want this stamp set, but have not been able to acquire it yet! Trying to be responsible! Your sample is so pretty…love all the soft colors, the fussy cut butterfly and the white accent!
Alison Barclay says
A beautiful soft elegant card! I got this set for free last week and haven’t inked it up yet. I love your colouring – the addition of Marina Mist makes this look so authentic. Lovely!
Joanne James says
So pretty Connie – this flower stamp was made to be coloured in a lilac/blue! I love the pop of green from the check banner behind too.
Chris Slogar says
What a fabulous job coloring this flower! The little variations in color make a big impact. These colors and papers are gorgeous together, too!
