Flutter Bairy Wednesday

This post was revised to add Flutter By Wednesday information. Oops!

Flutter BerryThis is my card for Flutterby Wednesday. This little girl is a digi stamp called Butter Fairy from Soft Pencil. I was bored at the computer yesterday and went on a search for digital stamp images and I found her. She has a wonderful paisley type pattern on her wings. I can think of so many ways to color her, can’t you? I started out with a mod kind of sixties thing for the first time. You’ll be seeing her again.

If you want to play along, this weeks challenge is to use a sketch from another challenge. You also need to include a butterfly or fairy on your creation. This way you can do two challenges at once. Go over to each of the DT member’s blogs (links on my sidebar) and to Dani’s blog and see the some beautiful examples for inspiration; make your creation and go back to Dani’s blog to put a link to your card in Mr. Linky.

I was having a horrible time finding my crafty muse yesterday. She was out of town!!! I colored her and then started trying to make a card. I couldn’t come up with anything. I picked out some paper before I colored her and started cutting it up then didn’t like it. Picked out another one, didn’t like it. Picked out another one and just couldn’t make it work.

This evening I went back in the craft room and put it all together in a few minutes. I guess my muse came back!!!

I colored my Butter Fairy with prisma colors and used gamsol on the little girl only, not the wings. The paper is DCWV Glitter stack. I put the sentiment (S.E.I. stamp) on with temp adhesive because it needs something but I don’t know what sentiment I’ll want when I send her. Yes my cards are almost always girls and yes, I do name them. The names are usually the same as my post header.

I used the sketch from Our Creative Corner and the challenge at Spoon Full of Sugar is butterflies.

Back with another one in a bit.

Blessings

Christine
