God's Beauty (Mojo77)

Today's Mojo Monday Sketch is a great one! You know how I love layering! I tried to stay with the soft spring colors in the Delicate Dots designer paper. The base card is So Saffron. The next layer is a piece of the designer paper matted on Bashful Blue. The next layer is another pattern of the same designer paper matted the same way. The main image layer was cut with Circle and Scallop Circle Nestabilities. I stamped the leaves directly on the Whisper White circle. I stamped the flower with So Saffron and cut it out. I curled the petals a bit and used a small piece of a Dimensional behind it. I stamped the butterfly with Bashful Blue, colored it with the So Saffron Marker, cut it out, and adhered it with a small piece of a Dimensional, too. In case you can't read the sentiment, it says, "Beauty is God's handwriting." It's a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Everything used to create this card except the Nestabilities is from Stampin' Up! Thanks for stopping by!
