Sunday Sketch

Hi everyone! Sasha here with a fabulous sketch based on Laura's stunning layout from her Lawn Party gallery.

I took the sketch and made a card out of it. I love using sketches when making cards, because, for some reason, I find cards are harder. Why? I have no idea. I absolutely love the grids and imitated that by stitching some twine onto the cardstock.
Supplies: Cardstock; More Calico, More Vanilla, Mists; Mister Huey Piglet, Mister Huey Clover, Mister Huey BlueGrass, Mister Huey Lemonade, Mister Huey Orchard; Sticker; Label Stickers- Countryside; Stamp; Just a note - Lawn Party kit - Studio Calico; Twine; The Twinery; Brads; American Crafts.

I then punched some butterflies out of white cardstock and gave them a taste of various Mister Huey.

Such happy colors! Have you got yours yet? They're available in the shop! Be sure to post a link of your take on the sketch to this post by May 29 for a chance to win one of two $5 Studio Calico gift cards. Good luck and have fun!

Nicely done!
I have a difficult time with cards also, and I think I know why....no photograph for inspiration! ;) its just different from scrappin!

Thanks for letting me play along!

I started with a plan to make a card almost exactly like Sasha's. But when I tossed my die-cut hearts on the card, I like the way they scattered. So mine doesn't look much like the sketch!
