Serene Garden Card

Good morning!  Another Tuesday and another challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches!  This week is the fifth Tuesday so we have a double - both a sketch and colors.

Here is the posted challenge:

Cathy chose a great sketch and some lovely colors for this week.  I changed the sketch slightly by using a swoosh instead of scallops at the bottom.

I watercolored the swoosh panel on a separate piece of paper, then die cut it and adhered it to the image panel.  The image uses the Serene Garden stamp set from Stampin! Up's new catalog and was stamped in grey ink, then watercolored using the challenge colors and an aqua painter.  The butterfly is die cut and popped up using foam dots.  I added just a few rhinestones for some sparkle.  I thought the striped ribbon went nicely with the style of the stamp.


I hope you enjoyed this card today.  I have a list of some of the supplies with links to my Stampin' Up! website below.  If you order please use Hostess code FK7PAJNW - valid through June 29.  (If you order $150 of products-before tax and shipping-do not use the code so YOU get the hostess benefits.)
