A friend gave me some cool Pebbles Snapshots photo stickers for my birthday, so that is where I started my design for Sketch 45 from CardPatterns. I punched circles from two of the stickers for the main images, and designed the card around that color and theme. It took a while to find papers (Basic Grey Mellow) and design elements from my stash that worked with the fall colors, however I love how it came together.
I cut a Stampin' Up Skeleton leaf in two for the corner elements. As I was thinking about what to place in the center, I remembered Lucy's Strings & Wings challenge, so I incorporated that into my design. The Butterfly was punched from a paint chip, sponged around the edges, and accented with some Martha Stewart pearls. I finished with an EK Success Border punch on the edges, a few wraps of twine, and a thanks tile sticker.
Ah, so beautiful!

This is gorgeous Steph! So nice to see something fall-ish when I've been staring at winter cards for weeks.
