Upside down

My cardmaking group had this sketch for this week and so I thought I would give it a try, well I decided to glue my paper directly to the card front and I used a glue stick, added the dazzle borders to it and then realized I had the card upside down....ugghhh! I was going to cut the card front off and just add it to the base of another card and then decided at the last minute to just go with it and have the sketch upside down.


The butterfly stickers are design to work with one another, they come in gold, green and pink, although on my computer screen the color of the inside looks more like blue, so you can mix what colors you would like on your butterfly. I applied all the stickers to a piece of card stock and then cut it out. The sentiment sticker came in silver but I wanted it to match with the butterfly and border stickers so I used a gold pen to color it.

Hot off the press -Dazzles - Thin line borders and Mix'ems Butterfly
Stamp on it - Sticker sentiment colored with gold pen

If you don't know how the sketch was supposed to be it doesn't look to bad upside down :)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

I think your card looks great and I'd never guess it was "upside-down!" Love the pretty butterflies, and great idea to color you sentiment to match!
