It's a Fall Flutter By Wednesday!

Stamp: Sweet Pea Stamps- Caron Vinson "Moonlight Fairy"
A quick version...and a not so quick version...

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday #126!
This weeks challenge:
Create a NEW creation using a butterfly, fairy or angel and the theme of Fall!
Leave a DIRECT link to your creation in the InLinkz at the FBW blog before 12:00 midnight on October 19th.

For my top card, another fast technique! I used Kraft cardstock and only 4 pens! Copic Markers in E40 and E43. An extra fine white paint pen and a Stardust clear. The white paint pen is super quick to use, but you could also use the Copic Opaque white like paint for more precision. (And not make a big splotchy boo-boo like I did!). I used one of the BRAND NEW Sweet Pea images by Caron Vinson. She is one of Sweet Pea's 3 new artists with incredible designs, so be sure to check them out.

Have fun and happy fluttering! Be sure to visit the Flutter By team:

Oh, Alice Ch. 34: Mad Tea Party

Ch.34: Mad Tea Party...

{pic coming soon...two classes this weekend are keeping me busy!}

`And ever since that,' the Hatter went on in a mournful tone, `he won't do a thing I ask! It's always six o'clock now.'
A bright idea came into Alice's head. `Is that the reason so many tea-things are put out here?' she asked.
`Yes, that's it,' said the Hatter with a sigh: `it's always tea-time, and we've no time to wash the things between whiles.'
`Then you keep moving round, I suppose?' said Alice.
`Exactly so,' said the Hatter: `as the things get used up.'
`But what happens when you come to the beginning again?' Alice ventured to ask.
~Chapter 7, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Your challenge this week is to explore things that could make up your tea-time activity. Use tea bag folding in the construction of your project. This is a great resource: Tea Bag Folding. Anything relating to time would pair perfectly with this challenge, but isn't a requirement! Show us your fab folding abilities, doing it Alice-style!

Oh, Alice Ch. 33: Dictionary

Stamp: Sweet Pea Stamps - Elaine Cox "Mad Tea Party"

Oh, Alice Ch. 33: Dictionary of Nonsense

Alice didn't dare to argue the point, but went on: `-- and I thought I'd try and find my way to the top of that hill -- '

`When you say "hill,"' the Queen interrupted, `I could show you hills, in comparison with which you'd call that a valley.'

`No, I shouldn't,' said Alice, surprised into contradicting her at last: `a hill can't be a valley, you know. That would be nonsense -- '

The Red Queen shook her head, `You may call it "nonsense" if you like,' she said, ` but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!'

--Ch. 2: Through the Looking Glass

DT member Lynne is challenging us this week is to use TEXT in a NONSENSE way - not to read, but as a pattern in your card. Use a page from an old dictionary or other book, stamp a background text stamp or use a text-patterned paper in your creation. Link up your NEW CREATIONS over at the OAC blog and the design team will stop by to do some CREATIVE READING as we look at your entries this week!

The Greeting Farm is our SPONSOR this week, and not only are we thrilled to have them again, the prize just got sweeter! There is a RUBBER SINGLE OF CHOICE up for grabs for this challenge AS WELL as the highly-sought after "Wonderland" digital stamp set!

For my card today, I focused on coloring just the center of the image. I then used B0000 & B00 to color from the edges toward the middle. An easy technique to cut down on coloring time. ;o)

I also used the new Tim Holtz tissue tapes (LOVE!!) Hobgoblin & Tidings, now available at Paper Tales.
