Although it's not necessary to use both the sketch and theme I'm a bit of a one for making things difficult for myself and always want to include everything from a challenge. So the stamping bit was easy, but the family bit had me thinking. Eventually I went with a sentiment quote that I thought was a good fit, masked off the bottom circular shape and stamped it once in black and then several more times a bit paler by stamping off onto scrap paper first.
I used the same colours as the flowers from the sketch to stamp and hand cut the butterflies, picking up on the graduating sizes. I only glued down the middle of each butterfly so that I could lift the wings and create a dimensional look.
Supplies:
Stamps: Stamplorations, Winged Things; Inkylicious, Momwents Memories
Inks: SU, real red; Memento, bahama blue, rose bud, grape jelly, tangelo, tuxedo black
Promarker: cool grey 1

Jane, I love the sketchy, airy feel of your card...and what a great idea to glue down just the middle of the butterflies so the wings could flutter! Love seeing this beauty in the gallery -- well done in combining the theme and sketch! (Oh and please don't forgot to add this post to the Wishlist Linky Party if you haven't yet for your extra entry.)
