My Azure Afternoon and Sketched Butterflies card was inspired by both the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop and the Freshly Made Sketches #636. The two challenges just seemed to fit together so nicely. Here’s this week’s sketch:

Azure Afternoon is a bright, fun color and I think the butterflies are beautiful in this color. I chose to use lines embossed with my stylus around the center rectangle of butterflies. The vertical lines did not photograph well, but trust me, they are there.
I added my sentiment off center both vertically and horizontally for a bit of interest. One of my favorite stamps in the Sketched Butterflies stamp set is the one with 4 butterflies in flight. They are arranged and spaced so nicely for us. I used that one in the inside of the card.

You can see all the cards made for the Monochromatic Insta Hop this week by visiting @ChatnCraftwithlorraine and you can check out the other entries for the Freshly Made Sketches #636 by visiting here. I hope you’ll visit both spots.
Would you like to own the Sketched Butterflies bundle AND have lots of ideas for using it to its fullest? Join me for my Triple Your Creativity Classes for June, July, and August.
