Fusion of Sketch with Butterflies

Today I am playing with the challenge at Fusion's  5th Anniversary Challenge shown below.  We can choose to use the sketch or photo or a fusion of both.  My card was inspired by both.  I used 3 Butterflies (found in my stash of leftovers) that were die cut with Cheery Lynn dies from Navy CS and cut angel wings of Glitter CS from my scraps. I started with a Ivory card base and attached a panel found in my stash of handmade backgrounds that was made by blending assorted  Distress Oxide Inks and spraying Gold Shimmer Mist.  I added some die cut circles of navy and ivory with die cut shapes of navy and Glitter Paper following the sketch and then attached the Butterflies.   I like it when I use up some of my scraps and leftover die cuts and inked backgrounds. The sentiment from Gina K Designs was stamped with Memento Paris Dusk ink.

Oldies but Goodies

Hello!  Another card made with scrap of  pattern paper from stash and a very old stamp Fall Leaf Pattern, this one from All Night Media.   I teamed this with a GKD stamp from A Year of Leaves.   I inked a white CS with Distress Oxide ink Twisted Citron and Fossilized Amber and stamped and water-colored the leaves with several Distress Oxide inks.  Added some gold to the leaves with metallic marker. The sentiment was stamped with Versamark on a strip of Vellum and embossed with Gold EP.  I assembled the card with a Orange Card Base, with HFC pattern paper, and a Gold Metallic frame.
