 This is the third Split Coast Sketch Challenge I've participated in. This one was a fairly simple sketch so I was able to fit it in tonight!   I used the "Four Seasons" decorative papers, Apricot Appeal, Marigold Morning and Whisper White.  I sponged the Marigold Morning, Whisper White and Decorative paper with Marigold Morning.  I stamped the Perennial Favorites butterfly with More Mustard.  It was the only color that blended well and stood out on the white.  I added matching brads because I felt the corners needed something.  I added the brads in the corners and looked at the card and felt it needed just a little something more.  SO I added brads to the butterflies and thought I'd better stop before I clutter the card up.  Ever do that?  Just keep adding "stuff" because you think it needs a little something more and that leads to a little something more and all of a sudden your card looks cluttered and you want to start over.  Or better yet, you put it in a place where no one can see it because it's too horrible to show anyone?  Got one of those places????  Me either!  LOL

The sketch gives the measurements which makes card making a whole lot easier, doesn't it?  This card can be used for a variety of occasions.  
Don't forget about the Blog Candy!  Some of the comments are just a riot!  I love to see you having fun with this.  Some days you just wish things were really that simple!  I'll be drawing a name on Friday so get your name in there! 
Thank you SO much for stopping by!

Beautiful card Wanda, love everything about it, I have one million of those brads (love the black ones) Great idea.
VERY CUTE! THE COLORS ARE GREAT!
Love what you did--I noticed the sketch for this week and have been debating about trying it--I hope to. You are right, they do give the measurements:)
