Less is More Week 266 & Freshly Made Sketches #226

Thought I would combine this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches with this week's challenge at Less is More, which is a colour challenge, the colour being CITRUS

Here is the sketch


and here is my card


I once again used my Dutch Doobadoo Burlap Mask along with my Tim Holtz Distress Marker Spritzer and a Twisted Citron Distress Marker. For the butterfly I used the Clearly Besotted Butterfly Wishes stamp set and matching dies. The sentiment is also Clearly Besotted, Sweet Little Sentiments.

As always there is lots of great inspiration at both Freshly Made Sketches and Less is More.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.
Happy crafting

  22. Hello Karen and thank you so much for your sweet comment on my Fairy card.
    Your card is amazing, I love that stenciled background, just so beautiful. I don't own a lot of stencils, I only have the one I used for this card and one more, only smaller. I need to get some because they are perfect to keep your cards really CAS and oh so elegant and gorgeous like yours.
    Thank you again.
