Today's card makes me feel like I'm back on the
SheepSki Designs team since this is one of Andrea's images. :-D It's one of my favorite cats and it's also the monthly freebie at the
Outlawz Progressive challenge.
Before I started this card, I decided that it was time to clear off the crafting desk and that means using things which are on the desktop. Sometimes, as was the case with this card, I can use nothing BUT things which are left on the desk; other times, I have to add a bit here and there.
I colored with 4 ProMarkers - gray, teal, pale pink, and golden yellow. As I used them, I slid them back into their proper cubbyholes where I keep all my markers, sorted by main color. The oval QuicKutz die was on the desk and I used it to cut the image, then put it back in the envelope with the set.
Since the image had a butterfly, and since the Cheery Lynn butterfly die was also on the table, I picked through the dp piled up, found the piece I used for the background, trimmed it to size and used the cut off to die cut the butterfly. Digging through the papers brought to light the second oval - already die cut with an Unbranded die- and since the teal color was perfect, I added it to the card design.
Finally, I got to the sentiment. It was printed and since there was a small, oval die from Spellbinders waiting to be put away, I used it to cut the sentiment. I liked the repetition of ovals and of butterflies. Who knew when I started that a card design would come together out of that messy pile on the desk?! :-D Of course, it took me another half hour to clear the rest of that messy pile off the desk completely.
