Flutter By & Whimsical Wednesday


Stamps: Sweet Pea Stamps - Ching-Chou Kuik's "It's My Birthday"
FBW Challenge #110: FLOWERS + Butterfly, fairy, or angel.

It is Flutter By Wednesday #110! This week our challenge is from team member Kris! She challenges us to use flowers with our butterfly, fairy or angel! Remember your creation must be a new one and must include a butterfly, fairy or angel! Once you've created your NEW card or project, place your direct link into InLinkz at the FBW blog.

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




It is Whimsical Wednesday #36 over at the Diedrich Dare blog and we are featuring our sponsor, Sweet Pea Stamps, all month long!!! So be sure to check out all the Daredevils this month!


This week it's a "double dare", because both of Heather's artsy little girls made sketches! Be sure to stop by the Dare blog and thank them for their amazing contribution to the challenge!

So here are 2 sketches from 8 year old Piper & 5 year old Willow.
You may use either one, or both! More details at the Dare blog.
When you complete your card, link it up at the blog, here.

Piper's Sketch: {Click sketches for larger view}
Willow's Sketch:


I used Willow's heart theme, but I didn't quite capture her adorable sketch. I will try to be back with another version of her's and Piper's sketches later this week.
