Flutterby Wednesday - FBW156 Clean and Simple  
Sentimental Sundays - #56 Single Layer
CAS-ual Fridays - CFC3 Bring the Bling
Less is More - #16 Butterflies

 This week at Flutterby Wednesday we are looking for Clean and Simple (CAS) cards using your butterflies, fairies or angels.  I kept my creation one layer and used Speedy the Cat's Morning Milk Linen Cardstock ~ love the texture!  The butterfly from Buggy Sayings by Paper Makeup Stamps is colored wtih copics and spica glitter pens for lots of shimmer.  I traced a mat for a simple frame and added lots of bling for fun.  {grin}

Thanks for fluttering by and I hope you'll play along with us this week!

Butterfly on White

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW139 White on White

Welcome to another Flutterby Wednesday challenge! This week we are having a White on White challenge--only your image may have color--and remember your butterfly, fairy or angel.

So, with this kind of challenge, you've gotta have some texture. Out came the embossing folders and nesties. The lacey circle is popped on dimensional tape. The butterfly is paper-pieced and I went over the pale pink part of the design with a Sakuara Stardust pen.

Thanks for fluttering by today! I'm looking forward to seeing your WoW creations!

Fall Butterflies

Flutterby Wednesday - FBW126 Think Fall
Makeup 4 the Weekend - M4TW45 Use Vellum
Paper Sundaes - PSC39 A Change of Seasons
Stamp Something - Something Punchy
Ooh-La-La Creations - OLL#64 Nothing Floral
Stamp Simply - #160 Back to Nature
Splitcoast Inspiration - IC253 John Lewis Department Stores

This week's Flutterby Wednesday challenge is to use the theme of Fall when making your cards with a butterfly, fairy or angel on it. I used fall colors with this pretty paper by The Paper Studio. The sentiment is from Buggy Sayings by Paper Makeup Stamps.

And today is the last day to enter the Makeup 4 the Weekend challenge to use vellum on your card {It's my turn to host the M4TW challenge}. If you combine that with a PMS image and link it to the PMS blog before midnight, you'll be entered in a drawing to win a single stamp of your choice. And considering, ahem, that no one not on the design team has entered yet, you have a pretty good chance of winning! {LOL} Remember there are digi stamps in the PMS store if you don't own a rubber one yet!

Thanks for fluttering by today and I wish you all the beary best!

Paper Makeup Gift Set

Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge - MTSC62
Flutter By Wednesday - FBW #98
Paper Makeup Stamps - M4TW18

A good friend of mine had her birthday recently and I thought I had the perfect gift for her, only to find out that it was a book that she already owned. What to do, what to do. Why, stamp of course! {grin} I made her this set of cards all following Mercy's Sketch from this week and using Paper Makeup Stamps.


This card is the one doing Triple Duty for Mercy's Sketch, Flutter By Wednesday and PMS's Makeup for the Weekend challenges. {links are at the top} I liked the warm colors of the butterflies and flowers in the inspiration picture on the PMS blog. I used the Buggy Sayings and Friendly Flowers stamp sets. The butterfly is paper pieced from some Basic Grey paper and the lower butterfly panel is Vintage Butterflies from The Paper Studio. I also added some sparkle with a spica glitter pen on the flowers and butterfly body - wish you could see it in the photo.


I {heart} this glittery designer paper from Stampin' Up! The felt flower and background stamp are SU! too. I again added sparkle with the clear spica pen to the little flowers and put tiny pink gems in the centers of them. The center stamp is from the PMS set Grateful Thanks.


The tree in the background is from one of my favorite PMS sets Nature's Song. The verse that I stamped over it comes from their Believe Scripture set. DP is from SU's Urban Garden papers.


And lastly, this card uses the PMS set Sailing By. I paper pieced the anchor and ran the bottom panel through a cuttlebug embossing folder using SU!'s Western Sky paper. Love the quick texture that can add. {grin} I found those neat blue pebble stickers at Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for looking. If you want to know any other details about these cards, I think I have all the ingredients posted in my SCS gallery which is linked on my sidebar.

Blessings!
