Welcome to my spot in the "Fluttering into 2011 Hop". The Flutterby Wednesday Challenge is back from our holiday break and you should have fluttered here from Jennie's blog. If not, you'll want to start at Flutterby Wednesday and take a peek at all the fluttery goodness there is to see along the way today! {wink} And we want to extend a warm welcome to the newest members of the Flutterby Team: Kristie, Anna, Peggy and Jennie!This week's challenge is everyone's favorite, an OPEN one! Just remember to have your butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. My butterfly image today is from a new stamp that my parents gave me for Christmas. I've wanted to try bleaching an image for awhile now. I embossed the butterfly in black on brilliant blue cardstock and used a small paintbrush to "paint" it with bleach. I just love how the brilliant blue faded to an aqua color that matches baja breeze pretty well. And I painted it a little unevenly to vary the color a bit in the wings.
Now you have one more fluttery stop to make - that of our Flutterby leader herself - Danni!

I love the bleach effect on the color. So pretty on a butterfly. Will have the try that technique, and maybe put a clothespin on my nose to avoid smelling the bleach. ;-) Blue being my favorite color, this card is a real eye pleaser. Looking forward to seeing it "live." Love You! Mom
