A Fluttery Blog Hop

Flutterby Wednesday is back with everyone's favorite, an OPEN Challenge - just remember to use a butterfly or fairy on your creation!  To celebrate we are kicking things off with a Blog Hop featuring the new design team.  You should have arrived here from the ever talented Kristie's blog.  If not start at the Flutterby Wednesday blog so you don't miss any of the fluttery goodness!

For my card I have used an image by Saturated Canary called Butterfly Princess.  My coloring skills don't do this gorgeous image anywhere near justice, but she's still beautiful.  I love coloring in monochromatic neutral tones and adding a splash of color.  I used warm gray copic markers and R08 for the red bits.  If you look closely, you can see the sparkle on her hair, the red accents and even on the butterflies in the designer paper that I added with a clear spica glitter pen.  {grin - I love sparkle!}

Time to see what treat you'll find on Tara's blog next!

Thanks for fluttering by!

Christmas Cheer

Party Time Tuesdays is celebrating Christmas in July this week!  This cute snowman image can be found at The Digi Garden.  I followed fabulous Sketch #61 over at Sketches by Carly for my layout.

My snowman sparkles because of Silver Glitter Liner from sponsor Viva Decor.  The brown  paper bag background and sequin strip are from our sponsor Creating is Fun.

PMS January Blog Hop

It's time for Paper Makeup Stamps January Release and that means a Blog Hop!  You should have arrived here from the PMS Blog itself - it not, be sure to check it out so you don't miss any of the fun details!  {wink}

In case you haven't heard the news, Paper Makeup Stamps is switching to digi only images and this is the first release that is all digi!  The rubber closeout sale is happening right now and you can get 60% off of what's left in the rubber inventory by using the voucher code CLOSEOUT60 in the shopping cart.

For my card I've used Fairy Jane.  I actually looked pretty close to that last week - poor Fairy Jane is not feeling so well.  Let's hope this fun Sketch by Carly and cheery colors help her feel better soon!  {grin}

Now off you go - time to hop to Anita's blog and see what inspiring creation she has for you today!

Danni by Victoria Case

This week's Flutterby Wednesday challenge is an open one - anything goes as long as you have a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. 

I'd like to send a special thank you to Victoria Case for creating this beautiful digi stamp for the Flutterby Wednesday team.  She is just too precious!  I flipped the image before printing it out and coloring it with copic markers.  I'm not entirely sure where the orange came from {LOL} - I started out to make a teal card and somehow she just seemed to need orange instead!  Funny how things go in a different direction than intended sometimes.  {grin}  I used this week's Sketch by Carly for the layout. 

Thanks for fluttering by my way today!  Be sure to stop by the FBW blog and see how the rest of the team used this sweet Danni image.  Then take some time to get inky and show us what you create this week!  {wink}

This week at Flutterby Wednesday we want to see you using the color green and/or Carly's Sketch #26 for your creation with a butterfly, fairy or angel.  I chose to combine the challenges on my card using Dandy Wishes from Paper Makeup Stamps.  I have used some yummy papers from Paper Temptress again - Basis Light Green and Emerald Metallic.  I love how sparkly the Metallic cardstock is!  And if you click on the photo for a close-up, you can see the stickles on the dandelions better.  {grin}  And here is my acrostic for the Raise the Bar G.R.E.E.N. challenge (isn't that a clever idea?!) Great sketch, Ribbon, Embossed panel, Emerald metallic paper, New stickles.

Sketches by Carly at FBW

This week at Flutterby Wednesday we have a real treat - this delightful sketch for you to follow by 12-years-old Carly! Be sure to check out her blog {Sketches By Carly} - such talent!

Here's my card based on Carly's sketch. I used papers from Gina K. Designs retired Winter Wonderland Kit. It might be hard to tell in the photos, but the paper and ink are a burgundy color, not brown. The stamps are GKD too, Take Flight and Warm and Wonderful. Below is a close-up of the sparkle from the clear spica glitter pen I used all over the butterfly image. If you squint you can kind of see the sparkle {LOL}.

Thanks for fluttering by today! Can't wait to see what you create with Carly's Sketch too! {wink}
