Melinda with Bouquet - FBW

Yippee, it's Wednesday - time for another Flutter By Challenge. I look forward to creating my card each week!! One of the requirements to play along is to use either a butterfly or a fairy. To me, a fairy can be just about anything - if it's got wings it can be a fairy. I wanted to create a card using one of my new WOJ stamps, So I choose Melinda with Bouquet.

My card is 5.25x5.25. I used Doodlebug DP and Bazzill cardstock that matches. The challenge this week was to use brads or eyelets along with your butterfly or fairy. I have TONS of eyelets (remember when they first came out, I had to have like ALL of them!) but I'm not very good about using them. Brads are much easier for me. I found this sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches and knew it would work perfectly with my image.

I applied Diamond Glaze to the roses and Stickles to the wings. Here is a close up where you can see that better.

I colored her with Copics (hair & body) and pencils with OMS (outfit, headband and flowers). I REALLY like how it turned out - and I love the colors of her outfit. I hope this cards brings a smile and some peace to a friend of mine going through a rough time - the inside says "to lift your heart".

So what do you think? I'd love to hear your comments! If you have a butterfly or fairy why don't you play along? Just visit Danni's blog for all the details. You can link your creation on her blog. We'd love to see what you create!! While you are there check out our featured team member, Harriet. I haven't gotten to know Harriet very well yet but her work is FANTASTIC and she recently had surgery so hope she's doing better! You can see the other DT members creations by clinking on the links to the side. This week we say good bye to two team members, Heather & Ashley. We hope to see them again in the future - they are both very talented!

Today, Abby and I are going to KC to see our friends visiting from Memphis. Abby is beyond excited - she hasn't seen any of her Memphis friends for over a year!! Hopefully, I'll get some good pictures to share. I hope you have a great day!! Thanks for stopping by today!!
