What day is today? Well, it’s Wednesday so that means it’s Flutter By Wednesday. We’ve got a lot of exciting things going on at FBW. First of all, this week we have a guest designer! That means our challenge is open.
I took a photo of my card for today and it didn’t photo well so I scanned it and that didn’t turn out much better. This card is so much more beautiful in real life. I love this image, Lavender Fairy, from the flower fairy collection at Stamps Happen. There are so many beautiful fairy stamps in this collection!
Of course, my favorite stamps are the ones that lend well to water coloring. I did a background wash of dark blue and purple on everything but the fairy and the butterflies. Then I colored the adorable fairy and the butterflies with wings to match.
The DP is from Provo Craft and I tied an organza ribbon around it. I’m loving organza ribbon lately!!!
So, once again, the challenge is an open one this week. Just be sure to use a butterfly, fairy or an angel on your creation. Don’t forget to go check out Danni’s creation as well has the guest designer. I don’t know who it is but I’m sure Danni invited someone amazing!!!
If you'd like to play along, go check out all of the other lovely DT blogs by clicking on their links on the right sidebar and then going to Danni’s Dreams to link up your card.
Challenges:
Pink Elephant -- favorite coloring method

Today is also a new challenge at Just Buggin’. The challenge this week is to use at least two Cricut die cuts and layer them together. You can make anything you'd like as long as it fits with the current challenge. The creations by the design team are being posted each day of the week so check every day for inspiration. My day is Tuesday so I’ll be posting my creation on Tuesday. It just dawned on me as I typed this, I forgot to post so I’m going to go create that post real quick. Be sure to look at the post just below!!!
Ok, I’m back!!! Just in time to sign off!
Blessings,
Christine

Another beautiful card I love the way you have coloured this all very soft. I could really imagine those flowers covered in lilac flowersoft. I am not normally one for tye die papers but this really works you have picked the colours from it perfectly.
