Flutter By Wednesday #103

It's the end of another month, wow this year seems to be flying by already!

Time for another Flutter By Wednesday, it's #103! We have a color challenge for you today - please use blue, green and white with your butterfly, fairy or angel.

Danni gave me a free pass to skip this week so I'm taking it...had a few rough days here and haven't had much crafting time. Be sure to visit the FBW team (links on my sidebar) for lots of inspiration!

If you'd like to play along, please link your creation to the Flutter By Wednesday blog. If you're unsure of how to link your creation, please check out this tutorial that Danni created.

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.

A Daffodil for You

This is a quick card I created last week using one of the new flowers drawn by Lynne Stansbery for Squigglefly. Daffodils are such a pretty flower and I already have some blooming in my yard :o)


You can check out the Eat Sleep Stamp sketch that I used HERE.

Some Squigglefly news:

The new challenge was posted yesterday, use buttons with your Squigglefly creation! Click HERE to check it out!

And the big news! A whole new very cool line of stamps is being released this Saturday called Inside Outs and they will include images and sentiments for both the inside and outside of your card. How cool of a concept is that?? You can check out the news on the blog HERE (also see how you can WIN a set!!) and see this neat card that Holly posted yesterday HERE. Also be sure to watch the DT links on my left sidebar since some of the team will be posting sneak peeks this week.

Have a great day!!!

It's Spring, time for a bike ride!!

I have the pleasure of sharing this sneak peek of a new line of stamps to be debuted tomorrow over at Squigglefly. The artist's name is Diane Carubia and this image is called Bicycle Ride. Doesn't she look like she's having a blast? She's perfect for the Spring Challenge over at The Pink Elephant :)


The layout is this week's Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge - I used it the same day that it was posted, that usually doesn't happen LOL!


I went a little copic crazy on my coloring so I took a picture instead of listing all of the colors.


Card Supplies
Stamps: Bicycle Ride by Diane Carubia ~ Squigglefly
Paper: BG Green at Heart (love this new stack!!!), PTI Summer Sunrise
Copics: see above
Others: Labels 4 ~ Nestabilities, brad, flower & ric rac from stash

Check out Christine's card using this same image, she's adorable!!
