Kraft Butterflies

Flutterby Wednesday wants to see some kraft paper in your creations this week with your fairies or butterflies. I took the 3 butterfly dies from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps and arranged them on the piece of white cardstock to cut out the images and use the negative space on my card.  This allows the kraft cardstock behind the white layer to show through.  I like the different sized bling for the different sized butterflies.  {happy grin}  The sentiment is from the Pink by Design "Rock On" set.

Everyday Miracles

Flutterby Wednesday is looking for some pixie dust this week.  We want to see your creations sparkle and shine!  And don't forget to have a fairy or butterfly on there too.  {wink}

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is our generous sponsor today - one FBW challenge participant will win 3 digis of their choice from the SNSS store!   I have used a butterfly and sentiment from the digi set Everyday Miracles.  I printed the butterfly on pale pink cardstock and softly colored it in with colored pencils.  Then I ran the panel through my Xyron to cover it with adhesive before coating it with some dazzling diamonds glitter.  I just love that quick and easy trick to give a panel or border a sparkly coat!  

It's a bit hard to see, but I also traced the word 'miracle' and it's frame with a clear stardust glitter pen.  I doodled a bit on the Authentique Lively DP with the glitter pen too.  And the 3 pink gems were my final sparkly touch!  {grin}

Spotlight on Ally

We have a technique for you to use with your Digi Makeover Challenge this week - Spotlighting!  Check out the fabulous samples the Digi Makeup Artists created - love all the new ideas.  {wink}

I used the digi versiong of Ally from the Beautiful Day Fairies collection.  She'll be added to the PMS store soon, so be on the lookout for her!  My niece loves tea parties and this stamp always makes me think of her.  {grin}

And this is another card for Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling To - Challenge HYCCT1111 Fight Like a Girl.

Flutterby Quilt

This week at Flutterby Wednesday we want to see you use your scraps on your creations ~ along with your butterfly, fairy or angel.  I fished around my scrap bin and pulled out some pieces of pink papers that I had used on this card in February.

I punched out some 1-inch squares to keep them all even-sized and some small butterflies from one of my many scraps of white cardstock.  Even the pink layer that I laid out the pieces on and the burgundy half sheet for my card base were in my scrap box.  {grin}  I really should reach for cut up pieces of paper more and get them used! 

The saying is from the Little Moments set by Paper Makeup Stamps.  I'm also entering this card into the Hope You Can Cling To challenge at SCS Things are Looking Up. 

Thanks for fluttering by and I hope you are inspired to use up some of your scraps on your next creation!

Smitten Snake

This month's Paper Makeover Challenge at Paper Makeup Stamps is to use Neon Green!  Use a PMS rubber stamp or digi on your creation and you could win a prize.  {wink}  Check out the details and link up your project at the PMS Blog. 

I stamped Smitten Snake on some green DP and cut him out.  I used a white gel pen for his teeth and eyes and a pink stardust glitter pen for his belly - love that shimmer!  {grin}  Then I couldn't resist adding pink gems to all the white squares on the DP too. 

The saying actually comes in a straight line, but to fit the circle better I cut the words apart {gasp!} and stacked them on my acrylic block.  I can always line them up straight again on my block if I want.  If you do this, be sure to stamp on a scrap paper a couple times first - just to make sure the words are all straight and {ahem} right side up.  Just sayin' from experience here!  {lol}

The sketch that I used is from the Hope You Can Cling To challenges at SCS.

SCS Queen for the Day - QFTD80 Dawn Mercedes

SCS Hope You Can Cling To - HYCCT1104 Only Paper 

Dawn Mercedes was honored as Queen for the Day at Splitcoaststampers and I picked one of my favorite cards of hers to CASE - Black Eyed Susans.  I love the frames she's been using on lots of creations lately! 

I also decided to make this for the SCS Hope You Can Cling To challenge to Have Only Paper Embellishments.  I thought since the cards are being mailed to a Cancer Center in Texas, they might appreciate some Bluebonnet flowers.  {grin}
