Birds and Butterflies - Sketch 145 - Midweek Throwdown

 
Edit to original post. (Timing is so funny.  I just made all these non-sentiment cards and that is the OWH MWT.) On this sunny Sunday afternoon I thought I would share some cards that are going in this next box to OWH.  They were inspired by sketch #145 on the Stars and Stamps blog.  This sketch is now one of my fav's!  I could make these all day long. 

 
The above card is made with K&Co. cardstock sticker borders and 3-D birds and butterflies.  The birds and butterflies are not too thick and will fit in the envies just fine.


The copper looking border is a sticker I got from the dollar store and mounted on black.  I ended up making 9 of these all without sentiments for general cards. 
 
 
This is a great sketch and there are some terrific samples on the blog for your inspiration as well. Happy Sunny Sunday (oops Monday, blogger uploading challenge)!

  1. Lynn, This a a great group of cards you made for out heroes. I haven't used a map in ages on a card, thanks for reminding me. Nice job with the birds also. I like how you cut, layered them and popped them up. Great job on all.
