Well we’ve definitely had some summer moments here in the last week! Here in Sydney its been the hottest week in 85 years and today was a shocker with 41°C – thats 105.8°F for my American friends. Way too hot for this Diva!
When I saw this weeks sketch I freaked – circles ugh … but … not to let the team down I changed it a little. During the week I also saw Gretchen’s Diva Colour Challenge and thought why not combine the two?? They are such purty Colours!
So here’s this week’s Utah Divas Sketch challenge …
and here is the Utah Diva’s Colour Challenge …
now arent they pretty colours???
Now for my card ….
As you can see I still did use a couple of circles. Thats the great thing about sketch challenges – you can ‘interpret’ them how you feel and my poor Beautiful Wings Embosslit has been feeling a little neglected of late so I used that as well.
The flowers come from the lovely Sale•A•Bration set Sweet Summer which I got for free this week just by ordering $100 worth of Stampin’ Up! products. Gotta love free stamps! So if you’d like this Sweet Summer set or one of the other Sale•A•Bration stamp sets you can email or phone your order through to me – you’ll get one free set for every $100 you order.
Maybe youre thinking you’d like to try this Stampin’ Up! Business opportunity for yourself and if so now is the time to join. If you join during Sale•A•Bration you will receive a bonus free stamp set from the Idea Book & Catalogue to the value of $79.95 and I’ll also give you a Sale•A•Bration set of your choice plus a bonus ‘joining’ gift from me.
Have Questions? need more details? then feel free to contact me or check out the information online by clicking on the “Join my Team” button in the menu up the top. You can join online so there are no forms to fill out and send off – the hardest part of joining is deciding what stamp sets and inks to choose!

Love this interpretation Leonie!!! The colour schemeis so bright and vibrant….and the sets you have used suit it to a “T”.
Hear you TOTALLY on the heat thing…roll on the cool change due tomorrow. Our poor (1 and only) pedalstal fan got a wee flogging today. All the windows open just trying to get some air moving thru!! The weather bureau PROMISED 1 more stinker of a night then respite 2 moro…..fingers crossed.
It’s just beautiful, Leonie! I love how you changed the circles to butterflies!
Hugs!
Love it! The butterflys are a great interpretation of the sketch!
Gosh – love those butterflies! Great way to use the sketch.
Hope your weather cools off a bit for you. 105 – oh my!
Gorgeous card!! I can’t believe you’re that hot, and we’re FREEZING here in the sunny southwest!! Just not used to the cold weather!! Wish we could average the two places together!! haha!!
Leonie! I love this! The butterflies are perfect!
What a great idea to combine the challenges! I love your card, those butterflies look like they could fly off the card into those flowers. Love what you did!
Lovely card – I like the way you sue the sketches to put your personal flair on your cards. Can anyone do these challenges?
Am loving this one, Leonie! Beautifully sweet! Such pretty colours. Hugs xxaxx
love your take on the sketch, leonie!!! love gretchen’s color challenges and that you combined both the sketch and color together. beautiful!!! xoxo
LOVE this, totally CASE’ing it for this weekend’s workshop!
