FCD Sketch 019: Fly



Pamela at FCD released a new sketch on her gallery this week. She asked us to post our versions using Mr. Linky back to her site. Last night I made the above card using the sketch. In case you can't tell, this is an adult Birthday card (or other celebration card). I liked the play on the title word - FLY - with both the butterflies, and the wine bottle! he he



The images are the medium butterfly from the butter/dragonfly set, the wine bottle from the Italiano set, and the word Fly from the Fly Butterflies set.

The background paper is DCWV Mariposa, and the cardstock is from Club Scrap (POPs; not sure which sets).




(click on any image for a larger view.)

I LOVE the way the wine bottle turned out. I did take a fine black pen and added a bit of script to the label, a white gel pen to add a bit of highlight, and the clear star pen (Gelly Roll) for a bit of sparkle.





The images were colored with Tri-Art markers, and a bit of CTMH markers. They were all clear embossed afterwards.

Hope you like! :o)

As always, thanks for stopping by! Happy Stampin'!

I like your colors and composition, but I'm not really getting the butterflies and bottle thing.

Love the coloring and layout! the wine bottle looks like you could just pick it right off the card and start for the butterfly park!!!

I love that you are in the raft on your blog header - very clever!!!
