The Gentleman Crafter Sketch #10

Hi there.   Today I'm sharing the card I made inspired by The Gentleman Crafter's Sketch #10 


 I was going through a pile of scrapbook papers I got when I first started crafting.  I have a lot of 12 x 12 papers and I had decided to donate some of them to my granddaughter's day-care centre.  I had a pack by Grace Taylor which had 4 sheets of each design so decided to keep 2 and donate two.  One of the pages such made me think it would be perfect to use this sketch with. 


I took three sheets.... and cut each one into 4 squares -  I trimmed the blue and green patterned pieces into the stripes and used some dark blue and bright green card to make a mat.  The dark blue is double sided with the other side the pale blue.  I trimmed the butterfly PP to fit my A2 card and I matted with the dark blue side.  I took a square with one of the butterflies and matted it with the pale blue side.  I took a sentiment from a Taylored Expressions sentiment pack and trimmed it and matted with the dark blue.  I added some light green Altenew Enamel Dots.  

Thanks for stopping by today.  Stay safe out there.
