Here is what I created for this challenge:
 I decided to use image "IMG530" from Sherri Baldy and she is a cutie! She is holding a sweet basket of flowers and looks like she is all ready for the nice Springtime weather! I decided to color her up using my Inktense colored pencils with a little water and brush and added some wink of stella to her. Once colored, I decided I wanted her to be in a shaker, so a shaker card it is! The polka dot paper is from Recollections and the yellow CS card base is from CTMH.  (Remember, I am now using up everything that I have  been hoarding for years to do my projects). 

 I liked this week's sketch but I wanted to eliminate the strip that goes horizontal behind the main layer. I just didn't think it would go with the card I had in my head and afterall, a sketch is just a starting point to get your mojo going. You can always alter a sketch to fit your project's design and that is what I did. I also took my butterflies and instead of having them going straight up in a symmetrical line, I placed them going up but in a zig zag fluttering motion to kinda show movement. 

The red paper layer and the front panel of the shaker were cut out using Mama Elephant's, Peek a Frame die cuts. The front layer of the shaker was also airbrushed with a few of my yellow and orange copic markers using my Craftwell airbrush system. The front inside panel behind this sweet little girl, was embossed using my wood grain folder and airbrushed. The butterflies were punched from my Elegant Butterfly Punch by Stampin Up and I added a few pearls to their bodies. The cute sentiment at the top is from SU's "You brighten my day" stamp set, inked up with Momento Tuxedo black ink. To finish off the front, I used heart confetti and sequins from 3 Twenty Crafts for the shaker.  I also finished up the inside of the card. The sentiment here on the inside is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set from SU, also inked in momento tuxedo black ink and edges were inked with fresh linen distress ink. I would like to enter this card into the TTCRD Challenge
