I know I took one look at this week's new SOUS sketch and I was immediately thinking Spring too!
Sandi's sketch depicts florals, a butterfly and even the word Spring, so how could I resist wanting to create something with the long-awaited seasonal theme myself?! So for today I threw together a happy I {heart}You card!
I used the basic elements of the sketch but I decided to use a clustering of three Studio Calico chipboard clouds at the bottom of my card in place of Sandi's trio of oval shapes, and instead of using a photo or rectangular element on the large floral accent, I opted to use a chipboard butterfly over my floral doily accent. The floral doily shape by the way, I cut out using the exclusive Cricut Expression 2 Cricut Alphabet cartridge. That cart has so many great doily shapes included on there, and I'm sure I'll be playing around with those images quite alot! The chipboard butterflies I colorized with some Smooch Spritz sprays and then I also embellished them and the doily accent with some Glam Rocks using the Imaginisce I-Rock tool. Fun stuff! Ohh, and do you love that teal chevron ribbon?? I sure do... it's from the fabulous May Arts company!
And of course I can't forget, Core'dinations! I gotta have my Core cardstock... the Jillian Spotted Core really puts me in a Spring mood. I just love it... esp. in that aqua shade!
Okay... that's all I've got for this post, but I do hope you will go check out the rest of the designers creations on the SOUS blog. Those girls can all seriously rock a sketch! Have a wonderful Friday you all! ;)
