Hello everyone!

The card that I have to show you today is based on the sketch at Skipping Stones.

281220101089

I finally got my Silhouette SD and I used it to make the two butterflies on this card as well as the big scalloped oval. Still have a bit of hand drawn element in this card. The middle oval layer is hand drawn. My measurements were a little out for the first and the scalloped oval, so I added another layer… I think it looks complete now.

I have shaded all the white areas with a darker tea pink water color pencil. I designed the pattern paper myself using overlays found online. The card looks gorgeous in real life, my cell phone has not captured the real pastel tea pink color of this card. The pink is not SO bright… it is very muted and looks really elegant…

Alrighty! That’s it for today! Happy crafting!
