This card was inspired by the
Freshly Made Sketches Challenge (#74). The image and sentiment were embossed in silver. I love the way silver and blue look together.
You can see from the sketch that any shape could be used as the focus of the card front. Having one large focal point makes this sketch so versatile. When I saw this sketch, I immediately thought of the Swallowtail.
One of my husband's colleagues is retiring tomorrow, so I decided to get double duty out of this sketch and make a card for the going away party.
It is difficult to see in the photos, but I sponged the entire card front with Illuminate ink to give it an overall shimmer that works well with the silver embossing and little touch of bling in the corner.
