Hello & welcome to a new project share. Hands up who loves a sketch! This week's Just Add Ink challenge is a super simple sketch suggested by Narelle. I've used it to create a soft, pretty sympathy card for a dear friend using the Butterfly Brilliance bundle, which includes the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set, coordinating Brilliant Wings dies. Here's how it turned out.
I swapped out the square and circle for two sizes of hexagons from the Beautiful Shapes die set, positioned and layered them according to the sketch.
The card base is soft sea foam with a layer on top embossed with the Ornate Floral embossing folder. It adds lots of lovely detail without overwhelming the rest of the card, and soft sea foam is such a pretty pastel green. I don't think my photos capture this well. So hard to get the light right!
Each of the gorgeous butterflies have 3 die cut layers - a butterfly
image stamped in soft sea foam, vellum then the detailed die cut on top.
They're only glued down the centre so the layers can pop. Iridescent rhinestones on the butterfly centres add lovely shine.
Did you know that you get a 10% discount off the individual prices when you purchase both the stamps and dies together in the bundle? Always check for a bundle on our coordinated items! :)
The Thinking of You sentiment on the front and coordinating sentiment inside are from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (& discounted bundle of same name). I really love having options for inside and out. Another hexagon and butterfly carry the theme inside.
So that's my sketch challenge card. I hope you liked it and that it's given you some ideas to try. Do check out the Just Add Ink blog to see all our team projects and try it too. We love seeing what you make.
