A Sketchy Flutterby Wednesday!

Hello, Fluttery Friends!

Welcome back to the Flutterby Wednesday Challenge.  This week we have a fantastic sketch created by none other than our very own fabulous Kathy.

As many of you know, last weekend was Scrapfest 2012.  I was not fortunate enough to go, but some good friends of mine were there.  This card was inspired by all of the random picture messages I got of Tim Holtz.  =o D


Here is the sketch:

 Don't you love it?  Kathy did a great job. Now, on to the details:


 The card base is Papertrey Ink's True Black cardstock.  The scalloped background is made from alternating papers out of a Tim Holtz paper pack using the Spellbinders Classic Scallop Edgeabilities. I stamped the background with music notes in Memento Black.


 The ribbon is just classic white satin ribbon that I distressed using both the Frayed Burlap and Concord distress inks.  I made the flowers using the Flower Shoppe Cricut cartridge and pattern papers out of the same Tim Holtz paper pack. The brad in the center is Recollections and I have no clue where I got the little heart key.  It was in the random bucket.


The stamps are both from Unity Stamp Co.  I painted them up using my Snowcap paint Dabber and stamped them on a plain tag.  I dried the paint using a heat gun, then distressed the tag using Concord, Frayed Burlap, and Summer sky distress inks.  When I was done distressing, I used a wet paper towel to wipe the distress ink off of the white paint.


That's it, kids!  Your turn.  Get out your butterflies or fairies and use Kathy's sketch in your creation.  Link up to the Flutterby Wednesday Challenge blog to play along.


Thanks for stopping by!
