TMS 560 - Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello, everyone! We have a new sketch for you this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I enjoyed this one very much, and I hope it will inspire you too!


I was thrilled to use a bunch of my scraps for this card!  I save all scraps of the alcohol ink backgrounds that I make, just for this reason!  Even the smallest scrap can be used in die-cutting.  The die is Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Drift, and I cut it 8 times, once in white, and then 7 more times, placing a different colour scrap over each of the butterflies as I ran it through my Cuttlebug.  

I paper-pieced the rainbow-coloured butterflies back into the white outline.  I die-cut a scalloped border for each side of the vertical strip (Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Border).  The background is embossed with Taylored Expressions Butterfly Swirl and I adhered the vertical strip with foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment (Clearly Besotted) and adhered according to the sketch.  To finish the card, I added a coordinating sequin to the center of each butterfly.

Here's our Sketch 560, designed by Melissa. I hope you'll be inspired to join our challenge - I always enjoy seeing what you make!

    We were thinking alike with our butterflies. But they are also so different from each other. Great idea to make them from your scraps. I also collect them, but hardly use them. So this beautiful card is a great idea!

    Kitty, I LOVE this! Those butterflies with the alcohol inks are stunning! I really need to keep my little scraps - just for something like this. The rainbow effect is awesome :) Every little detail is so carefully thought out.

    Hi dear Kitty!! I'm online again and can see that your cards are AMAZING as always!!! This one is really stunning and surely one of my all-time favourites from you!! You made a great work with your alcohol inks scraps, the paper-pieced rainbow butterflies looks so very well on the scalloped border and the colourful gems make them even more interesting! That embossed panel makes the card so elegant and sweet! A true masterpiece!
    Hope all is going well for you and family
    Sending big hugs
