Butterfly Charmer

It’s Flutter By Wednesday again. I {heart} Flutterby Wednesday almost as much as I love this beautiful fairy from Sketching Stamper.

10-01-13 butterfly charmer

She reminds me of the Pied Piper and how he played his flute and all the rats followed him to the river. 

I watercolored her in shades of blue and brown to match the paper in the DCWV Garden Party stack. With all that beautiful curly hair, I just had to color her hair red. I cut and matted her with my nesties and punched the coordinating paper with the MS doily lace punch. I added some blue and brown ribbon from Michaels. The colors don’t show up in the pic but, trust me, the ribbon is beautiful. I tied a flower on with some brown string and a vintage button and added a few extra vintage buttons. Gotta love my white vintage buttons!!!

butterfly-clipart9The challenge this week at Flutter By Wednesday is open so all you need to do is be sure to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation.
