Kathy's first "Botanique" layout

Good morning!

Each month I host a challenge over at the Scraps of Darkness/Elegance community on Facebook.  This month, I created a sketch... and Kathy created this stunning layout using both the sketch and our January Scraps Of Darkness 'Botanique' kit:

She created the background with 3 of the Graphic 45 Nature Sketch papers included in the Main Kit.

She cut two large orange and green Graphic 45 papers (Main Kit) and layered them in the center of the layout.  She arranged the photos and then placed a chipboard tag that comes in the Elements Add On in the center.  

The sentiment card on the right center of the page was cut from another Graphic 45 paper.  She used a little tag chipboard at the bottom of the sentiment tag to mount the large beautiful butterfly.  She fussy cut 4 different butterflies from one of the papers included in the Main Kit and used them around the layout. 

She created little flower clusters around the layout using those sweet yellow Petaloo burlap sunflowers from the Main Kit and flowers from previous kits.  There is a sweet metal butterfly in the top right cluster that is included in the Creativity Add On.  At the bottom left she used another chipboard tag from the Elements Add On and added the year the picture was taken. 

here is the sketch Kathy used

and if you want to join in the sketch challenge, you can upload your interpretation here.
