Card Patterns sketch 67



Hi dearies! Made another easel card over the weekend for cardpatterns sketch 67. Making cards has definitely become more easy and interesting after shopping at Itsy Bitsy. Earlier I would have to think over a card for hours on end because getting a chic/pretty look with limited choice of papers and embellies was tough ,given that we have so little options of craft papers and embellishments here in India. Making a good card with little is also a challenge in itself!!
Well enough of whining , here's the recipe: the design papers are from Itsy bitsy and so are the die cut alphabets.The flowers are stamps from hobby Ideas.Hope you like the card!

I made this card for the following
 and

Stamped flower image on yellow pastel paper and colored using soft pastels. The origami dress I made looking at instructions from  www.squidoo.com/origamidress . The sentiment and butterfly is from Itsy Bitsy!:-D Hope you like the card.
