Today's post is a card that I made for today's sketch challenge on SC hosted by Roxi. I had a great time making it. What an awesome sketch!! The colors I used are very nontraditional for me. They are a little brighter than my normal choice of colors but I think I like how it turned out. I based my colors on some SU Haiku paper that I hoarded before it retired. After using it for this project, I wish I bought more! lol! Since it is snowing here and very dark, these colors resemble sunshine.
The stamps were in the back of my cupboard collecting dust. I have so many stamps, sometimes I am unaware of what I have. I love this set though. It is called Live your Dream from SU. The sentiment is from the Best Yet set. I especially enjoyed sponging over my cuttlebug layers to create a unique effect. It reminds me of sherbet. The butterflies were created using the same technique and punching them out with a Martha Stewart punch.

Paper-Haiku DP, Really rust, expresso Bazill, barely banana

Re: uploads on SCS. Maybe it's just when I click on my own card it comes up looking HUGE!. Everyone else is telling me that it's not! Hmmmmm. But thanks for your help.

P.S. My brother lives in Hancock, NY & my best friend in Wappingers Falls. Anywhere close to you????
