It's hip to be square

At least it is this week for the Flutterby Challenge. We have a sketch for you this week and it is square. I have to be honest, when I first saw it I was stuck. The sketch had to stew in my brain for a few days before I came up with something. The end result is a modified version of what I started with.

I stamped the butterfly and colored it with copics before I coated it with glossy accents. Once dried I sponged on several shades of blue for the sky. While I was sponging I went ahead and sponged with same blue a slightly smaller square to go behind the triangle I cut out of the card front. The part of the card front I left attached was sponged with shades of green and the splattered/flicked with water to create the texture.

Here is the sketch for you:

What does a bike and a penquin have in common?

Nothing except that I used them on my two cards tonight and the fact that they are part of the SCS Hopy You Can Cling To month long challenge. The first one is a pink card (something I don't do all that often). It is a square 4.25 x 4.25 size and the image and sentiment is from PTI's Everyday Button Bits. I'm not sure what the pink is turning out so bright but they are the shades from the color inspiration, I promise.

Challenges used:

SCS HYCCT09: square card, pink, min of four squares

Colour Q:
Little red wagon: hearts (I used them in the corners)

Now for the second card. This one is a winter theme. I used some pre-printed vellum and the "snow" hill is covered in Glimmer Glam Chandelier while the igloo is coated in glossy accents. The stamped images are from Unity's Jolly Little Winter set.
