FBW #140 - Open Challenge

Happy Groundhog Day, it's also Flutter By Wednesday!

We have an open challenge this week, just remember to include a butterfly, fairy or angel. It's also a sponsored week!

We are sponsored by Michelle Perkett Studio and she generously gave the FBW team a few pretty fairies to play with. Check out the FBW blog for the rules to play along and also check out the DT links to see what they've done with Michelle's images!

I used the Arianna image, isn't she wonderful? I had a great time coloring her up.

In this side view, you can glimpse the fairy dust paint that I used on her wings. To color her I used copics - R00, R20, R83, Y32, y35, BV11, BV13, B26 and G99. The sentiment is from the Verve Kind Words set.

Other challenges I am entering~

Crafty Catz #67 - Flowers

Paper Playtime #36 - January's Digi Monday

Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes + Flowers

Top Tip Tuesday #20 - Anything Girlie

Have a great day!

Paper Cutz Challenge #65

TGIF!!!

Today's PaperCutz Challenge is to make a card, layout or craft project for Breast Cancer Awareness using any colors you'd like.

Here is my take on the challenge~

The adorable ribbon bear is a freebie that I downloaded from Bugaboo Stamps earlier this week. I painted the ribbon with Tutu Pink paint from Creative Inspirations, IRL it sparkles so nicely but my camera didn't pick that up.

I used this week's Techno Stamper sketch~

Are you enjoying World Card Making Day? I'm trying to...this cold is slowing me down!

I did make a layout earlier, you'll see that tomorrow morning :)

Danni issued a challenge to me yesterday...to use some of the many digi stamps I have printed! She will have a few cards posted tomorrow, so be sure to check her out HERE.

This is the stack of digis I pulled out this morning...think I have enough to choose from? LOL


I decided to pick an image from the top of the stack, Island Pixie from Pixie Dust Studio - they have so many more cute images since the last time I visited, eek! I need to use, use, use and not buy, buy, buy!


Here is a close up of the sparkle, shine & paper piercing ~ another eek, it's not showing up too well, hopefully if you click on it, you can see it...

Fairy Sweet

I’m back with my 2nd post for today, so scroll down to check out my Lasting Memories layout!

I was awake much earlier than I needed to be so I scrolled through the Sunday challenges and saw this fun inspiration picture for CIC70 at Cupcake Inspirations….anyone have a cupcake handy? I’m hungry after looking at it LOL!

Here is my take~

I do believe I’m getting the hang of these inspiration challenges. As soon as I saw Tinkerbell, I thought of this adorable fairy Jolinne from MFT. Isn’t she sweet?  The designer paper (in my fave colors!) is from the Basic Grey Olivia collection.  I cut out the flowers with my Blossoms Two nestabilities and crinkled them before stamping a sentiment from the set.  Jolinne is colored with copics (E00, R20, E25, E29, YG25, RV11, RV14) and her wings were painted with Fairy Dust Creative Inspirations paint.

Have a great day!

Daisybella for CIC69 & TSSC132

Fun times tonight, my sister came over to do a trial run on my hair for the wedding (lookin’ good except I didn’t have any hairspray to make it hold LOL) and then I decided to craft!

I created this card for two challenges – Cupcake Inspirations and Technostamper Monday lunchtime sketch. I was inspired by the daisy and the colors for the cupcake challenge and this week’s TSSC sketch was perfect for Daisybella.

Here is the cupcake inspiration ~
