Flutter By Wednesday #107

Happy Wednesday!

This week's challenge was issued by team member, Debby. She would like us to make a clean & simple card using a butterfly, fairy, or angel.

In other Flutter By news, this week we say goodbye to Chris and Shana. We will miss you girls!!


As soon as I saw this sketch at Clean & Simple Stamping, I knew I'd be using it for this week's challenge! This site is a fantastic source for making CAS cards!

If you'd like to play along with Flutter By Wednesday, please link your CAS challenge card using a butterfly, fairy, or angel to the FBW blog! For more CAS inspiration, please visit the blogs of my fellow team members. They rock!

Other challenges I was inspired by:
Paper Play #16 - No Patterned Paper (shocking, isn't it?? I didn't think I'd be able to not use dp!)
Kaboodle Doodles #29 - Embossing (still having lots of fun with my embossing folders!)
Splitcoast Stampers CAS64- CAS birthday card using orange for Miss Boo's birthday
Jacksonbelle Embellishments - Get Krafty (use kraft as a base, I thought this would look awesome with the orange!)

Card Supplies ~
Stamps: Birthday Greetings ~ Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps
Paper: PTI Kraft, misc. orange/white scraps
Ink: Memento
Other: Martha Stewart Monarch butterfly punch, leafy branch & swiss dots cuttlebug folders, Recollections pearls

Thanks for fluttering by!

Basic Grey Bunnies

I have to say that I love how these cards turned out...I wasn't sure about using non-holiday paper with Easter cards, but I think they look neat.

This first one is my favorite, I've always loved this image and since I got a few in a swap, I've been holding them hostage LOL


This one is a teensy bit boring, but I did try to dress up the background paper with a new toy I recently got, a Viva Decor Pearl Pen, it's pretty cool!


Both cards are made with sketches from Midnight Madness. I love their new CAS versions.
