If a day ever...

Good afternoon! Over at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge they are having a sketch challenge using this sketch:
 
 
And since I love working with sketches I decided to give it a whirl. This is my take on the sketch:
 
 
I turned the sketch 90 degrees. Products used for this layout are: Prima "Almanac" range, Martha Stewart "Dbl. Loop" punch, Tim Holtz word plates, Kaisercraft rub ons, Cheese cloth, and lace. The butterflies are from Kay's Kreative Korner etsy shop.
 
 
 
Sorry for the shadows, the lighting just wouldn't cooperate. Thanks for looking and your comments.

Cherish *LGS challenge #25

Hey there! I decided to try entering another sketch challenge. I love working with sketches and Let's get sketchy has a current sketch challenge using this sketch:


And here was my take on the sketch:


I tried to stick as close to the sketch as possible. For this layout I used a lot of my old stash from Glitz "Graced with Lace" as well as "French Kiss". I even have a sheet of Prima's "Moulin Rouge". On the corrugated board I mixed some molding paste with a touch of coral acrylic paint,  and dabbed here and there. On the butterfly, I used a Dusty Attic chippie that I painted with Ranger's onyx opal liquid pearls. For the coral flowers I sprayed them lightly first with Tattered Angels' Coral reef, then with Tattered Angels' Pumpkin spice. I did the same procedure with the Dusty Attic "Cherish" for my title. Here are a couple of close ups:
