JAI 288 sketch challenge - butterflies are back!

Oh I do like using sketches & Narelle has created this fun one for our new Just Add Ink challenge.
I loved the stars but was in a butterfly mood so this is what I made.
Looking at the sketch & my card together, I may have taken some liberties with the scale of the elements, but I think you can definitely see the sketch. It turned out much bolder & brighter than my initial idea but I still like it. Maybe the other idea will come out another time :-)
It's pretty sparkly in real life with the glittery butterfly, bermuda bay & silver sequins, & silver foil but maybe not showing so well in the pic. Try clicking on the pic to see a bigger version. I really like the effect of the Softly Falling folder I embossed the Cherry on Top paper background with. The actual paper has falling sprinkles on it too so I thought the embossing would enhance it even more.

The team have used the sketch in all sorts of awesome ways so see them all here on the JAI blog. I hope you'll play along & link up with the challenge too.
Thanks for visiting today & I hope my card gives you ideas to try. See you next post.

Inky wishes, Di
