Live It Up!

I finally got some time to make a card!  This was made for several challenges on SCS and for the AAA Card Challenge - celebrating their 1st birthday:

I used the Sizzix Balloon Side Step Framelit set to make this card.  The bicycle die cut is from Memory Box.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.

I am linking this up to the BD party Kylie set up for Sandie Munroe - one of my CAS teamies!  Happy Birthday Sandie!!

ATCAS#26 - Happy Anniversary ATCAS and to Lynette and Jim

Happy anniversary to Addicted to CAS challenge blog - we are celebrating our 1st year anniversary with this challenge!  Also, Happy Anniversary to my good friends Lynette (My Stamping Addiction) and Jim - this is the anniversary card that I made for them (hopefully they received it by now).
Marie is our ATCAS challenge hostess and she selected the code word: ANNIVERSARY.
Our sponsor for this challenge is Deedee's Digis:

We also have our first guest designer joining us - Bonnie Klass (Stamping With Klass).  So please go to the ATCAS challenge blog to see Bonnie's creation in addition to the ATCAS DT team's samples.

I used the colors from the SCS color challenge for this past week (Real Red, Old Olive and Calypso Coral) for this card.  I colored the images with the SU! markers and huffed on the Hero Arts Dogwood image before stamping.  I also colored the Hero Arts Butterfly with a marker before stamping and then cut it out with the Sizzix companion Framelit die.  THe butterfly is adhered to the card on a foam square.

FBW260 Color Challenge - Brown; CASology Cue Card - Brown

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday 260.  This week's challenge is to use the color brown along with your butterfly or fairy.  This is actually the second card I made.  I wasn't crazy about the first one.  Using brown was quite a challenge for me - but that's what this is all about, right?
Remember if there are 50+ entries in this week's challenge Danni will be giving away a prize - so you might as well create a card and link it yo the Flutter By Wednesday blog.
I used three shades of brown markers and colored directly onto the dogwood image and butterfly image before stamping.  I used vanilla card stock instead of white.
This week at CASology Challenge blog the cue card is BROWN!  So I am submitting this card for that challenge and to Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes.

FBW257 - A Sketch

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday #257!  This week we have a sketch created by our team member Kathy (I love her sketches).  We also have some new design team members so please go to the Flutter By Wednesday challenge blog to meet them.

Here is the sketch:

As you can see I rotated it 90 degrees to the right.  I used Washi Tape for some of the stripes which was a HYCCT challenge this past Sunday.  I had the butterfly die cut and stamped already so I just added the pearls and adhered it to the card with a foam square.

Don't forget when you create your card following this sketch to include a butterfly or a fairy on it. Also, just a reminder, that if we get 100+ entries, Danni will be giving a prize to the randomly selected participant!

HYCCT Fight Like a Girl and You Are Amazing in Pink Camo

This card was from a HYCCT challenge where we were supposed to use pink camo for our background.  Since I never heard of pink camo papers I googled it and came across this awesome pink butterfly camo paper.  I used the Unscripted Sketch for this card so it came together quite quickly even though it has more detail than my usual cards.

This next card was a case of Featured Stamper Darlene Designs' Tri Colored Butterflies card:

I used the remaining pink butterfly camo on this card and stamped and die cut the butterfly, added black rhinestones and adhered it with a foam square.
