Flutter By Wednesday #145 - A Photo Inspiration

This is week #145 on Flutter By Wednesday and with this new week comes a fun new challenge!  The challenge this week is:  A Photo Inspiration (Please visit the FBW blog to view the pretty photo, and don't forget to use a Butterfly, Faerie, or Angel!)

I'm using the R and R image by Victoria Case in this card, and he's been colored with Copics.  The butterflies are from an EK Success punch and reminded me of relaxing.  The sentiment is printed from my computer.

HSE Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #41

It's getting to be that time where we have to get busy on Valentines, so I took the opportunity to make one for this week's Cupcake Inspiration at Hope Stamps Eternal. I used a stamp that I recently won from Victoria Case that seemed just right for the card, and finally used my heart shaped Nestabilites!

While I really enjoy the color challenges, what makes the Cupcake Inspiration challenges so special is that you really have the opportunity to interpret the colors. It's fun to see how different the colors are in one card to the next, and that they're all some form of the same colors (from light to dark or soft to bright). You can find challenge #41: HERE

What I used:
Stamps: Steal a Kiss by Victoria Case
Paper: DP by Bo Bunny, Solid by Core 'dinations and DCWV, stamped on Papertrey Ink
Inks: Memento, Copic Sketch, Spica Twinkle Pens
Accents: Pink silk ribbon, Heart Charm, Gems by Darice
