Another Sassy Card

I've been having a blast hanging out with the Sassy gals on PaperCraft Planet.  We share cards, praise, support, and copic chatter.  The last topic inspired Cheryl to create Marker Girl for all her copic crazed fans, including me.  I had to buy it and use it for this week's sketch challenge at the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog. 

The image is coloured with copics, of course, matched to the Basic Grey Lemonade paper.  However when it came time to put the card together based on the sketch, it fought back.  The bold patterns and bright colours clashed horribly as I tried to mat layers and find a base.  So, mats disappeared and out came white cardstock for a base.  Then came the sewing to give it a little something!  The flowers are two different sized circles cut with my Spellbinders Nestabilities, wet with water, scrunched into submission, un-scrunched and left to dry on the counter overnight.  Final step was to put the layers together, top with a Stampin' Up button,  and attach with Close to My Heart waxy flax.  One flower was put on the front and another on the inside.

The butterflies were a last minute addition to hide some uh-ohs and were punched from unused flower layers that had been scrunched and dried.  Marker Girl will be entered into the challenges at Cupcake Crafts (flower power), A Spoon Full of Sugar (recycle - butterflies were punched from flower layers), Charisma Cardz (butterflies), and Secret Crafter Saturday (anything goes).

Thanks for looking!  Be sure to check back Sunday for my Paper Sundaes creation featuring an image from Karen's Doodles!
