Continuing with my theme of Speedy TV Sketch Challenge with a Twist layouts, my first card today uses the layout from Sketch Challenge #47. The twist for this challenge was an outdoor theme.
I may have been pushing the envelope with this one, but butterflies and flowers do grow/exist outdoors. In addition, I rotated the layout and used a circle rather than a square for my focal image.
I used another Karen Burniston Pop It Ups accordion die for my second card. This time it is the Circle set. I had a DCWV Far East patterned paper pad, which has some very pretty oriental papers. I cut the frame using a coordinating die set and added some pearls at the corners. The birthday sentiment on the front is from another MFP oriental set, Branch of Blossoms.
This is the card opened so you can see all three panels.
Here's the Design Team:
Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.
