It's been a beautiful week,
the nights are brisk,
the morning air has the hint of Fall!
Monday as I'd hung the umpteenth load of wash on the line, I noticed the butterflies were EVERYWHERE! Doing what it is butterflies do, I got some awesome shots.
I guess that's what inspired this card today for the Sketch Challenge on SCS.
I also did today's tutorial, Alcohol Markers with Pencils, which is something I do often. Beate has a great tutorial, check it out!
Beautiful Butterflies III from Innovative Stamp Creations combined with my cloud template and this fun new Beaded Ovals Spellbinders.
I spritzed some Glimmer Mist too

Dawn, What a gorgeous card! I love your coloring...and your dp, and that cool new (?) little Beaded Ovals SpellBinders goody! I just love when you color the sky. Beautiful!
Those photos are spectacular, Dawn! Have you ever taken a shot just as the butterfly is coming out of the chrysallis (sp?) when it is waiting for it's wings to dry. They are super. I love the plants that they are in most of the shots for....is that lavender?
Are you done with all canning, harvesting, everything earthy?

I LOVE this card. My favorite part is the sky. You mention a cloud template? Can you please tell me more about that and how you did that awesome sky?
