Spread your wings

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card(s).  



The designer paper is from Unity stamp company.  The border die is from Globeland (Amazon) and the butterfly is an old one from Cloud 9 Designs.  I heat embossed it and colored it to match the dsp with walnut stain distress ink.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things. 

I added an eyelet to the file tab just to be different and stuck it between the two dot rectangles. The swirl behind the main panel is from the same butterfly set, I just masked off the sentiment just to get the swirl.

I thought this was a bit plain, so after I took the photo above, I went back and added a bit of walnut stain distress ink around the perimeter of the card.  Which do you like better? 


Thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous details and I love that border. I think the inked edges pull it all together! Thank you for playing with my sketch this week

Both are beautiful butterfly cards, like all the layers and that patterned paper. I think the distressing kicks it up a notch.
