A new sketch....

is up at Cardabilities....sweet one! 

Tomorrow is the birthday of one of my very dear friends, so I came up with this.....made completely of scrap papers!!!! I love that I challenged myself to only use scraps! 

I made a paper roll flower and those butterflies are hand cut too! 

Since the card has a very vintage feel, I am also playing in a vintage card challenge at Colorful Creations.

Supplies: scraps of K & Co. Blue Awning paper,  sentiment-CTMH Celebration, inks-CTMH Outdoor Denim and Desert Sand, and pearls-Stamping Up
