Where did nearly 2 years go?!!!!

Well I just can't believe that nearly 2 years has passed since my last confession.. post ;) . Well Scleroderma,operations and life in general took over. So I am claiming back a little bit of me time. And thank you to the team at  'Less is more'  for dragging me out of my cave..with a simple sketch challenge!
Here is the challenge:


We haven't had a 
SKETCH
for quite some time so here's a simple one for you to have a play with!



So I have had a lovely time playing with this layout and produced 2 cards! I am like buses,nothing for ages and then 2 come along at the same time !
Here is the 1st one:


On a plain white piece of card I blended distress inks wild honey and tea dye,stamped a lovely meadow scene in sepia archival ink and sprayed with cosmic shimmer 'Sunlight mist'. I then stamped a butterfly in versamark and embossed with bark WOW Embossing powder. I then added a little bleach to some water and 'removed' some of the colour from the butterfly to make it stand out. The Sentiment was embossed in bright white WOW powder onto a remnant of the second card which followed exactly the same process but with distress ink in Peacock Feathers.Wild Honey and Peeled Paint. So essentially I swapped over the sentiment from each card.
I hope that made sense,it has been a while!


Here is a close up for you....















And here is card number 2!
and a close up!

















So I wish you all a happy Sunday and I look forward to looking at everyone's cards. With lots of love
