It's Flutter By Wednesday, so FLY!!!

Welcome to world of Butterflies...every Wednesday is an escape into your own imagination and the imaginations of others. We're so glad that you are stopping by to see the Flutter By Wednesday challenges today! Please visit our head Flutter By, Danni on her blog. There you will find our featured team member this week--Kristie! We are also introducing 5 new team members this week! Chris, Nicola, Harriet, Stef, and Kim are joining the team...please stop by their blogs for a welcome to them!

This week's challenge was to use punches/die cuts on our cards, and I couldn't wait to break out my new Nesties Labels Three. They are so beautiful, and I purchased them from Paper Makeup Stamps (not only does Katie have a great line of stamps, but she carries Nesties, Copics, and now bling!!!) The circles in the corners are cut using my Creative Memories circle cutting system. It is probably the oldest tool I own, and it still gets used. I firmly believe that you can't beat this system...love it!!

My butterflies this week are from an awesome new set that I inked up especially for you this week. Fly-Butterflies is available from Firecracker Designs by Pamela. I was so excited to get this set last week! The detail on it is fantastic, and it was fun and challenging to color it. I did go over the butterflies with Angel Wings Shimmerz, but the photograph just doesn't show it.

This card seems so retro to me between the style of writing for Fly, the drawing of the butterflies, and the colors in the designer paper. I used my new favorite Basic Grey paper, Urban Prairie. The colors just seem to speak to me now.
