Magnolia Down Under Challenge #73 - A Sketch


This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we have a fabulous sketch for you from our former teamie Chantelle. I've had a sneak peek at what the rest of the DT have come up with and once again I find it amazing how one little sketch can inspire so much diversity and I can't wait to see what our entrants do with it!!! I've been making mainly Christmas cards lately so decided to celebrate our beautiful Melbourne Spring weather instead for this card.

Now I think I may have gone a little overboard with the size of my butterfly, but I bought this die a while ago and have been waiting to use it. When I saw the butterfly on the sketch my mind went into overdrive and out came the die. Because it's so big I cut it in a neutral colour and just used some Glimmer mist on it. It's lacy wings don't hide too much of the background so I think it works.

The DP is Websters and the sentiment is a digi ticket from Bizzy Becs Digi Downloads.

Edit - I have been asked who makes the butterfly die - I have tracked it down and it's a Marianne D Creatable Die (Butterfly no.2) - I have found one UK listing for it HERE.
