Once Upon a Sketch entry + Artful Delight August Kit!

It's Saturday...yay!  I have a lot to share today.  First up, I wanted to share the page I created for the July challenge at Once Upon a...Sketch.  This is only my second time entering over there.  I always feel very intimidated by the level of work I see there...my style just seems so minimal compared to the gorgeous creations I see by the lovely women on the team.  But this time, I really liked the challenge, and I wanted to scrap this picture of me and my sister from back in February.  The theme was "friends," and the sketch provided is just amazing.

The papers I used aren't usually my style, either...they're from the Bo Bunny Country Garden collection.  I saw them in my LSS and thought they were so pretty.  I love butterflies, and I also loved the bright greens, blues, oranges & yellows.  I started with this pretty green page and smeared it up with lots of bright paint and then tore it up on the top & bottom.  I'm usually not a flowery-frilly scrapper, but I wanted to incorporate a few on this one.



Lots of distressing, inking and painting...


Close up of my ribbon and flowers.  I also used a few of the brads that came in the collection.
