Flutter By Wednesday 192, Open Challenge, Susana's Custom Art and Card Design

It's an open challenge today at Flutter By Wednesday. Means you need to have a butterfly, fairy or an angel on your creation!  We have a wonderful sponsor this week as well, it's Susana's Custom Art and Card Design.  I was lucky enough to play with sweet Polished Beauty by Victoria Case.  I really tried to stretch myself and make the mushroom and rock as realistic as I could.  Not sure if I'm totally pleased with the rock, but I think the mushroom rocks!  We look forward to see what you create this week!  Be sure to link your creation back on the Flutter By Wednesday blog, and take a peak at what the other designers made this week!  You'll be glad you fluttered by!

Played along with Mojo Monday's sketch 148 today. It's even a Monday! I grabbed one of my stamps from Susana's store that I recently picked up that was dying to be inked. I do adore Elisabeth Bell's images. She's by far one of my favorite illustrators. I love that she's working with several stores offering such cute images. This one image, At The Horse Show, reminds me of Gabi. Gabi loves horses. She's got a little collection of Bryer Horses, and will sit and play with them for hours. I used some paper from my stash that's been neglected, but seems to work perfectly with the horses. It's from The Angel Company, Rustic Chic. Fun paper line.

I layered my butterflies up. I really like how the one turned out with the the five that I layered up. Very nice added detail to the card. I colored my image with copics, and topped it off with some stickles.

Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies: nesties, copics, At The Horse Show, TAC paper, SU cardstock, SU ink, Martha punches, primas, stickles,

Sweet Fluttering.

Had a fun day today! Went with the kids and neighbors to see dolphins at VA. Beach. Very cool thing to see. Even saw some baby dolphins! It was cool on the water, which was good because we've been hot. Came home and it had rained! Wonderful because we are in need of rain. Meant it was time to create. So, the kids played Bakugan, and I snuck off to the stamp room!
Followed the sketch at The Sweet Stop. There's a twist, must use a tag too. I've had that tag with the sentiment Happiness for years. One of those buys from HSN, or QVC. They did a great selling this set of tags to me, and they've sat for far too long in my sticker folder. I should pull them out more and try to use them up.

Than I had to play along with Flutter By Wed. The challenge there is layers. At least three. I had gotten this cute image from Susana's Store a couple weeks ago, and have been dying to ink her up. She's uber cute, and I can see Gabi in this stamp. I cut out her shirt and layered it up, so that it gives the feel of the fabric flowing. I added some stickles to her and the puppies.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: Basic Grey, primas, stickles, copics, Victoria Case for Susana's Store, nesties,

Sweet Emma!

Goodness, okay, I'm so pleased with this card! How cute did it turn out?! I combined a lot of challenges on this one. Lost is coming on in a few so I need to post and run!

Mojo Monday Sketch.

Try It Out Tuesday- Embossing. My little blue panels are embossed. As is my scallop oval, but it's hiding, too.

Crazy 4 Challenges recipe card-1 ribbon, 2 buttons-just realized I used three, and three punches.

All Sorts- Petals and Pearls. Don't know if you can see the anklet, or her flipflops well. Both have pearls on them.

Pink Elephant recipe- 1 image, 2 dies, 3 favorite embellies.

Cupcake Craft Challenge- Childhood memories. We had a cat, named Pepper, who I adored. This sweet image from Susana's store reminds me of Gabi, wearing flip flops, and being a total girl.

Tuesday Morning Sketch- soft hues, flowers and ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: Basic Grey paper, Emma, nesties, baja breeze cardstock, and ink, so glad it's coming back, primas, pearls, stickles, copics.

Sapphire Flutterby

I jumped at the opportunity when Danni asked me to be a guest designer for her month long celebration. I discovered her blog about a year go from my friend, Kim. She had a ton of information on her blog, challenges, more online stores, and lots of other blogs to peak at. For the longest time, I would look at the Flutterby Challenge on Wed, but didn't really have a lot of butterfly stamps. Slowly, I would find myself looking at stamps of butterflies just to play along. Than she opened it to fairies as well! I was over joyed! I started playing along regularly, and it's one of my weekly favorite challenges!

This week's challenge keeping with the September theme was to use sapphires. I tried to pull in the color blue, blue flowers, and gems. For my card for her today, I used a stamp named just for her from Elisabeth Bell at Susana's store, which I received as blog candy from Danni. I used my TAC paper line called Lily Anna. I paper pieced her outfit, so her pants look like cords with the textured cardstock. She's colored with copics, covered her wings with angel wings shimmerz, and added a touch of stickles. I followed a layout on A Spoon Full of Sugar.

Other supplies: nesties, pacific blue, TAC sentiment, MS punch, Reflections gems, scrappers floss, primas.

Thanks for stopping by! Thanks, Danni, for asking me to do this! It meant a lot to me!
