Sunflowers and Dragonflies Sketch Challenge 3

Happy weekend. Finally, finally...the weekend is here. I've been waiting for some free time from work. Hopefully, I can get some free time to rest, to play and to enjoy the nice weather although it's a bit hot, but it's summer and it only would last for a short time. Better enjoy the sun while we have it!

Today, I am posting a card I made for the currently Saturday Sunflowers and Dragonflies Sketch Challenge. This is my first time, so it's a bit exciting for me.

Here is the sketch for this week's challenge:
Here is my finished card. For some reasons, I really like this card, not sure why, but I feel so satisfied on what I came up with.
I used the Magnolia butterflies. Cut them and layered them to add some dimension on this card.

I also added a K & Co butterfly charm to match up the the butterflies I added.
The DP I used is the DCWV Kitchen Stack and has glitters on it. Here is a closer view on the paper to show the shiny effect.
I didn't put any blush on Tilda this time, just because I forgot! In addition, I was kind of lazy to add it back on her since I've adhered her on the paper. "Sorry Tilda!"
Here is the insides:

I mentioned that I will post a picture of my Copic Markers storage on my last post, so here is the picture. I love to color my images everywhere I go, so sometimes I will keep this storage in my craftroom, but sometimes I will bring the whole thing and move it upstairs to my dining table. I find that it's easy to move around.

Here is the pictures for my Copic Markers. As you can see, I still have lots of space to fill up for more. (what an excuse for buying)


Ok, that's all for today and tomorrow I will be going camping with my husband and my daughter. Hopefully, it will not be too too hot! See you soon and have a nice weekend everyone~

Are you keeping cool in this heat wave we're having? I'm drowning myself drinking litres of ice cold water.
So glad to see your niece have joined us.
