Find Your Wings Butterfly

My 2nd post for the day, with one more to follow. I told you it was going to be busy here! :)

We have a new challenge over at Aud Sentiments and it's a fun one! there is a bingo board for you to use, and our sponsor is none other than the very talented Art by Miran.

I have used the beautiful Maria Mariposa on my card along with a pretty butterfly template from Shape EZ.

papers are from the Basic Grey Urban Prairie collection, sentiment is by Create with TLC, flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, black seam binding & pink burlap string are from RRR, and button is from my vintage stash. sequins are by Lawn Fawn. lovely butterfly die is from Cat's Pajamas, and sentiment is punched with an EK Success tag punch. her wings are accented with a wink of stella glitter pen.

Bingo: ribbon, paper punch, 2 patterned papers and die cut, flowers, 2 patterned papers

don't forget to stop back for my last post of the day! and be sure to play along in the bingo challenge, too! :)

Hello! well y'all have to bear with me. I have another few cards to post this week where we were given an image for free as long as we promised to play in the challenges. deadlines are quickly approaching, so I am trying to hurry to get my projects finished. was sick in bed this weekend, so that threw me off a bit. plus Tyler was home so I wanted to spend time with him when I could.

This cutey image, Lollipop Leslie, comes from a new to me Etsy store, Art by Miran. she has some really pretty images that are waaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my coloring range. this one seemed like something I could handle, so thought I would give it a try for the Facebook 'Make it Girly' challenge.

papers are from the new Basic Grey Fresh Cut collection, sentiment is Create with TLC, flower is Wild Orchid Crafts, enamel dots are Teresa Collins, and chalkboard tag is MME. the sentiment portion was cut with a SU! punch and then sprayed with Mr. Huey's mist. scan got a bit wonky because of the big flower.

I hope to be back in another day or so with a project to share if all goes well. take care and  have a most wonderful week! thank you for stopping by!

btw - I am having a horrid time with blogger loading the blogs I follow on my dashboard. it's been more than a week since I've been able to see them, no matter how often I refresh. I promise to try to get around to your blogs to visit as soon as I can see them again.
