Fluttering with Whimsy

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW116 Use Your Favorite Color

This week's Flutterby Wednesday challenge is being sponsored by Whimsy Stamps and I've used the image called Turtle's Friend on my card. Isn't it adorable? I love how the butterfly has landed on the turtle's nose and they're looking at each other.

And then I've used all three of my favorite colors on my card, haha. Okay - ever since 2nd grade I've said that my favorite color is red - so that's been my standard answer for years! But I've noticed recently that whenever I'm shopping for myself, I'm choosing blue items. Most of my clothes are blue! When I'm stamping, I find myself using blue on almost all of my cards. And turquoise is my favorite shade of blue. Then, well, green just goes so well with blue, KWIM? And green is everywhere in nature. And I have two boys, one has the favorite color green and the other one has the favorite color blue. I think their preferences have really brainwashed, uh I mean rubbed off on me, haha. {goofy grin}

Anyhow, back to the cute turtle and his butterfly friend. I colored them with copic markers and made them sparkly with my clear spica glitter pen. Then I tried the 'out of the box' technique for the first time where you use a nestie to cut around most of your image, but pick a section to stick out from that shape first. There are good directions for that on Splitcoast here. The blue paper is from my DCWV Butterflies and Blossoms stack.

Thanks for fluttering by today! I hope you'll play along with this week's Flutterby challenge and use all of your favorite colors too! {wink}
