Flutter By Wednesday Challenge
This week is FBW #107 and our teammate Debby has challenged us to keep it CLEAN & SIMPLE!!
Just be sure to include a butterfly, fairy or angel!!

Please link your project to the FBW blog post here.

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a really tough time doing simple....so here's about as clean & simple as I get.... ;o)


I used the new Tim Holtz Alterations Sizzix die. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!!! I made the wings with Fantasy Film by Art Glitter Institute. You can click the pics to get a closer view. Some sets of these handmade wings will be going out in my bonus surprise giveaways this week!
Yours will be trimmed much nicer than mine. I was in a hurry!

Also be sure to visit the rest of the amazing FBW team:
