Butterfly Dots

Intense Flowers

 
 
My take on this sketch was to use this intense flower paper from Basic Grey Green at heart collection. This is such pretty patterned paper I just loved show casing it. I did put small  glitzy round stickers down there towards the bottom. I dry embossed the card from PTI stripe Impression plate.
Supplies:
Patterned paper; Basic Grey / Green at Heart
Cardstock: Neenah Cream
Sentiment: Hero Arts
Twine: May Arts/ Olive

An Unscripted Sketch

 
 
Abstract Art is what I call this. Very different. OK I did pick the polka dots to work with but this all the washi tape I own. Admittedly this is first time I have used this tape and it has been sitting their. Anyway I tried something new! I picked the scarlet jewel (PTI) color to give some color but not to scream. color.
