Come Play with Me...

Created this for fun and to to play along with a few challenges too!  Inspired by Keep It Simple Things with Wings (DT), FUSION photo (DT), this fabulous Muse card by Marion, A Blog Called Hero Roy G. Biv, Verve Diva Dare Perk Up, The Crafting Musketeers Butterfly Challenge, Catered Crop Birthdays Recipe Swap and Seize the Birthday Hearts Challenges.

Pulled out my gelatos and paintbrush to create the watercolour background behind my Memory Box die cut butterfly heart. This die cut usually leaves the butterflies attached to the heart, but I carefully removed the butterflies so you could see more of the rainbow panel. Stamped with this gorgeous Verve sentiment and framed in black to help pop the colours.

Hope you are having an AMAZING weekend!

  

This made me smile...

Celebrate Birthday FUSION...

How gorgeous are all those beautiful butterflies!!! 

I can't wait to see what this weeks FUSION inspiration brings - will you be inspired by this FAB sketch, or this gorgeous photo - or BOTH?!?   This fortnight I was inspired by a combination of both the sketch, and the photo, with its butterfly theme, I focused on the colours of one of the butterflies - love the green, turquoise and orange colour combo! Created using texture paste and Heidi Swapp mask background, Kaisercraft butterfly stamped multiple times and fussy cut, Simple Stories papers, coloured vellum and gorgeous Verve sentiment.

We'd LOVE you to join in the fun...

How to play:

1. Play with just the sketch challenge.

2. Play with just the inspiration photo challenge.

3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.

4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.

P.S. Wishing you brighter days...

Had a play with my Distress Inks, Stencils and Paper Smooches stamps and dies to create today's card. Inspired by Online Classes Stenciled, CASual Fridays Over the Edge and Paper Smooches Sparks Anything Goes challenges.  Sponged a combination of Squeezed Lemon, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade to create the stenciled background, and as the base layer for the butterfly.  Die cut the Paper Smooches Fishtail Flag, Butterflies 3 and two vellum Hickory Leaf, and stamped this cute Paper Smooches Cosmos sentiment and Flap Happy butterfly in Momento Ink Morocco, before pop-dotting to the card front.

You can join in the fun at Paper Smooches 3rd Anniversary Celebrations this month.
