Sketch challenges are a great way to be inspired, and this is what we have for today’s Global Design Project. So, check out what the designers have done with the circle, then create your own design to share in our gallery.
I decided to create a garden with butterflies, and began with a section of Awash In Beauty Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I used the largest Stylish Shapes Circle Die to cut a hole in the garden.
Beneath the circle, I glued a layer of Vellum Layering Designs, which I attached to a Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″) with Dimensionals.

Encircled Butterflies
The butterflies were created with Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Brilliant Wings Die. I glued their bodies to the vellum, leaving their wings to fly.
The sentiment, “sunshine to brighten your day,” is from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, used a Sending Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
After giving the three butterflies tiny heads of Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels, my card was complete.
