Easter Blessings


Hi there! Popping in this afternoon with a card for this week's Freshly Made Sketches gallery.



I used to think I had to follow a sketch to the T. If there was a circle, I used a circle... a rectangle, I used a rectangle. But as my crafting has evolved over the years, I enjoy taking a little creative license. So for today's sketch my circle element was created using a fussy cut spring egg with a sentiment arched over it. That long thin rectangle at the bottom of the sketch became three teeny butterflies.
Did it work, do you see the sketch?
 I hope the team at FMS does!

And a little late to the party, but I see it too Lisa! Your creative license worked perfectly! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! :0)

I certainly do see the sketch! And that's what I love about them - you see a circle and it becomes an egg. A slim horizontal layer becomes a line of wee butterflies. The possibilities are endless! Your card is fabulous!
