The Flutter By Fairy

Welcome to this week's Flutter By Wednesday Challenge. Hop on over to Danni's blog to see our featured design team member, Jodi! And, the most awesome surprise is that our guest designer this week is Lauren Meader! This week's challenge is an open one, and you can use either a fairy or a butterfly, so create to your heart's content!!

Wow! I have the best of both worlds...a fairy dressed as a butterfly! Can it get any better? I couldn't wait to ink up this adorable new stamp from The Greeting Farm...it arrived last Saturday! I knew that it would be my challenge card for this week. She is just adorable, and I knew that only bright colors would do for this little beauty. She is a doll!

I actually started with the paper first. I found this crazy paper with hand drawn flowers and butterflies all over it, and there were some great colors in it. Luckily, the pack came with some solid sheets in it. Well, when I was constructing the card, the crazy paper was too crazy, and the image was lost in the shuffle, so I knew that I had to go to plan "B" and use another solid in the card. I was so much happier with this turnout! Finally, I knew that it needed something on the bottom, and I remembered this $1 ribbon that I found at Michael's, and Voila, the card was born. When I saw that Anya had her hand up to her mouth, I remembered another little treasure that I had...a ribbon slide that says, "Uh oh!" I couldn't resist...had to do it! It is actually from a baby pack, but I just love when I can "repurpose" things! I guess that is appropriate on Earth Day!
