Get out those punches & die cuts for FBW!

Let me tell you something, I had SOOOOO much fun with this week's Flutter By Wednesdays challenge!!

This week we want you to use your punches and die cuts on your Flutter By Wednesdays entries! Don't forget to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation. Please click {HERE} to enter and to see more inspiration, check out the FBW DT links on my left sidebar!

I decided that I wanted to play with a bunch of my MFT goodies that either haven't been used yet or in a long time. I started with this MFT sketch from a few Wednesdays ago...

Meet Pure Innocence Poppy - seeing as I have an August birthday, of course I had to have her and get her inked up this month.

I used MFT felt along with the Die-namics Fresh Cut Grass die, the Die-namics Butterflies and the Die-namics Open Scallop Edge.

Here is a close up of Poppy.  She was stamped 3 times - twice on Papertrey Ink Stampers Select cardstock and once on Echo Park For the Record designer paper. After adding the paper piecing, I used her arm from the 2nd image to add for more dimension. She was colored with various copics and I added Stickles to the heart in her hair and the center of the poppy.

You know you want to play along with us this week! Check out all the details {HERE} and thank you for fluttering by!  I'll be back later this morning with the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past hop!

Tri-Shutter Friendship Card

On another yahoo group I belong to, Scrap Friendly, we were challenged to create a tri-shutter card. Seeing as I never made one, I decided to finally try it out. I used this SCS tutorial, I had a bit of a tough time getting the card base right...probably since I started it really late last night lol! I incorporated a friendship quote to enter The Paper Variety's friendship challenge.

The paper is Memory Box Brioche, I picked it up at a stamp store a few weekends ago and yes, shocker I cut into it already! The quote is from The Purpose of Friendship set by Paper Makeup Stamps. I accented the card using a Martha Stewart punch, bling from my stash, felt flowers cut out with Nestabilities and an EK Success border punch.

This is the full card~

Another shot with a better view of the quote~

TFL!
