Tapestry

This card that I made yesterday for the sketch challenge reminds me of a tapestry or one of those detailed tile hot plates. I knew the medallion shapes from True Friend would work well for the central diamond part of this sketch, but I didn't really know what else to do. So I grabbed the coordinating designer paper and starting to work. I had it all set up, but it needed a little something. I dug through my stash of brads and these square rhinestones brads that I had bought in July surfaced. The green of the rhinestone was kind of a nice transition colour from the wasabi medallion to the khaki green of the river rock in the background paper. Funny thing about this card, by some miracle, the tiles all lined up. Why is this miraculous? Because I didn't cut out the rectangle that way. I cut it long, then I cut that piece into 4 smaller pieces and arranged them. Aren't flukes like that nice?


And here's another buggy photo for you. This butterfly was just chilling out in the green onions. Isn't it pretty!
