I recently joined the Crafters Digital Art Center. I was looking for something specific and somehow never left! LOL This group is great for teaching new (at least to me) techniques and stretching my crafting abilities AND they have classes and challenges. The current class is an adorable heart pocket. One of the challenges was a card sketch from Priscillastyles. This is the card I came up with.
I just got several of the K&Company Cottage Garden goodie packs and could not wait to use them. The dragonflies, the cute flowers in the lawer corner and the flaps on the heart pocket are all out of one of those packs. The butterfly is a digital stamp from Enchant Art that I colored with colored pencils, blended with odorless mineral spirits and embossed the outline of. A little twist of wire and he (or she) was complete and attached with foam tape.
OK, I know it isn't perfect but there are a lot of firsts here in this card so I am glad I did it!

I'm so glad that you found CDAC and the Midnight Madness challenge blog! I only found them both a few months ago and like you I was HOOKED instantly! I love that you've incorporated the pocket heart into the sketch challenge. What pretty colors you've chosen as well. You're making me long for Spring time. Butterflies are one of my favorite embellishments too so I love that you've chosen to use some of those. Great job with the sketch and we hope to see you back for many more!
