I was inspired by Less is More's metallic challenge, so I had a strip of mesh out from that challenge and then on to Clean and Simple's sketch challenge...so here is the sketch and what I came up with:
I used Sizzix leaf die to make the leaves, a Martha Stewart butterfly punch, and a sentiment from Papertrey's Iconic Images set. I punched an extra butterfly and put a piece of orange paper behind the extra and cut along the edges of the punched butterfly....thus the orange background. Super simple...and got to use more of the metal mesh I was given:)!!
This is super use of the metal mesh and the elements work really well together!
ReplyDeleteTerrific card.
