Up bright & early today for no apparent reason and I've decided to make use of the time and get a creatin'! I've used this week's CPS sketch 119 to create a non-traditional Graduation card.
I chose to use the DRS Designs floral butterfly image to not only create this card according to the sketch, literally, but also because butterflies are a symbol of change, joy, color, and transformation. Isn't this what graduation is all about as well? Graduation is a major change and it's the beginning of a huge transformation in someone's life, bringing on a whole new level of responsibility. It's also about following your dreams and doing what you aspire.
I used the Rock N Roll technique on this butterfly image, but the difference in pink inks that I used is subtle that it's had to tell. I spiced it up a bit by adding pink and white Stickles to each flower and petal in the image.
I thought this DRS Designs sentiment went perfect with the butterfly image and all it's symbolism. Wouldn't you agree?
