I am using some more release goodies today for the new Retro Sketch challenge.  Here is my card for this week...

I started this card by taking a 4' x 5 1/4" piece of Neenah and my Round Ink Blending tools and creating the background.  I actually started with Simon Says Fog ink, but quickly found that there was some green Mister Huey left on my stencil from a previous project.  So that gray background I wanted turned greenish blue.  I decided to keep it.  Normally it doesn't work that way but it was an ok mistake, lol!  Then I heat embossed the sentiment onto vellum and attached the butterfly to the front.  I didn't want the vellum to lay flat, so I heat embossed the edges some more so they would curl a little.  Then I used some Tombow Vellum adhesive and light attached the vellum to the card front.  With my ATG gun, I attached the whole thing to a Simon Says Fog card stock base.  To finish it off, I added some white enamel dots.  

This new stencil?  FUN!  A must for your stash.  I can't wait to get some more of the new stencils from yesterdays release.  I am still trying....slowly but surely....to break free from my CAS ways.  ha! I need to learn to make a mess, that's all there is to it!  :)

Here is this week's sketch.   It is based on a gorgeous card by Kim Heggins.  Click HERE to see her original.
