The Colour Me challenge is 5 colors of our choice so I went with three different shades of purple, black and white. The sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch is so versatile that this is my second go at it this week :)
I used various foliage images and, after masking off the bottom of the panel, I stamped in several generations using Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant from SU and Dusty Concord Distress ink. I then stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and did some paper piercing. To cover the masked edge, I placed a tiny strip of Concord Crush cardstock. I was going to snip off the overhang, but I decided I quite liked it, so it stayed!
The little butterfly was stamped in black and lightly colored with Copic markers. Some Dazzling Details gave it a bit of bling.
The inside is very simple, using a stamped die cut that I decided not to use on the front.
Thanks for looking.
