This card is for my good friend, Lucy and her husband, David, for their anniversary. It was actually yesterday, but I know she reads my blog every morning and I wanted her to see it in person before she saw it here. Hope it was a great day, Lucy! Lucy and I have been friends for ... way too many years to admit to here! LOL! (Nearly 50, if you really want to know.)
I had the flower image printed out from last Wednesday's Flutter By Wednesday post, so I colored it and used it. I used Prismacolor pencils and Goo Gone for the coloring, and I added Star Dust Stickles to the flowers. I cut it out and glued it to the bottom layer. The bottom layer is stamped with a PSX stamp, embossed with a Stampin' Up! folder, and matted with black. Edited to add: I forgot to say that the digital image is from Beccy's Place.
This card is also for this week's CAS-ual Friday challenge to use sparkle on a CAS (Clean and Simple) card.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
A new challenge from Flutter By Wednesday starts today. And it's everyone's favorite - Open! Just be sure to include your butterfly or fairy. We are sponsored this week by Beccy's Place.
She generously supplied images to members of the FBW team. The image I chose is called Blossom Sprig.
So pretty! She is also donating a prize to one random winner - three free digis of your choice. Be sure to check out her blog, too. There is lots of inspiration and also lots of free images on the blog under "Freebies." So what are you waiting for? Simply create your card with a fairy or butterfly, post it to your blog or on-line gallery, and link it up the Flutter By Wednesday blog!
I colored my image with Copics and kept everything very simple. I matted with black, stamped the sentiment (from a Papertrey Ink set) and added a couple little black butterflies with beige pearl bodies. They were punched with a Martha Stewart punch.
Edited to add: I'm entering this card into the Repeat Impressions Designer's Choice Challenge for this week. The challenge is to make a Clean and Simple card. I think this qualifies:)
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
