A Couple of Sketch Challenges

I took some time today to play in a couple of sketch challenges.  I feel I have been using the same layouts lately, and I needed a change.

I started with Can You CASE It #68.  I like this new to me challenge, especially since they come out on Sundays - my free day :)  I also entered this into Happy Little Stampers Monthly Challenge of die cuts.  (I'm hoping using your Silhouette works as a die cut...)

I used STAMPlorations Trendy Butterfly and a sentiment from Fond Expressions.

CYCI#68


I went on to play in Retro Sketch #163.

I used PTI's Fancy Flourish [I love this image!], along with a sentiment from Kaisercraft Thank You.  That button you see?  I made that! :)  You can see the tutorial HERE. [They are really fun to make]


Well that was a fun day!  Thanks challenges~


Thanks for stopping by~

Two awesome cards Vicki! ... yes, the cameo cuts count :) Love the design with your striped background and beautiful butterflies. The black outline of the butterflies is really intriguing. I was trying to figure out how you did that, but couldn't. It's your mastery of using the cameo! Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers. xx
