Flutter By Wednesday #48

Happy Flutter By Wednesday!!

First I want to say thank you so much to my Flutter By Team for all their gorgeous cards each week. Next a big thank you to YOU!! I am so happy that more and more people are playing along and having fun! In the next few weeks I'll have some blog candy to help say thank you.

This week's challenge was to use a butterfly and flowers in your creations. I will also start putting the challenges over on the left side under my Flutter By blog button in case you forget. The challenges are strictly optional though, just to add a little fun each week!

Our featured Flutter By Team Member is Cathy this week!! Be sure to stop by and give her some love for her wonderful creation!!

Also be sure to check out the other team members blogs for their creations and leave them some love too!!

We also have a special guest designer this week. Many of you know her and love her work as I do. She has been a true inspiration to me and I simply adore her! Please stop by her blog and leave her some love too! Who is it? None other than Maria Bell from Stampin' Inspirations!!
I'm also so excited that she has kindly agreed to let me use some of her fabulous sketches for challenges on Flutter By Wednesday's too!!
Here's her wonderful creation, a gift bag topper!! Can we say WOW!!!

A couple of tough acts to follow but here's my card for the week. Again, a simpler card so I can use it for the card ministry. But I just love the way it turned out.

Supplies:
card size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
stamps: Serendipity Butterfly Bush (small), TAC Squiggle Ladybugs-sentiment
paper: TAC ultrasmooth white cardstock , Basic Grey Euphoria
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black , VersaMagic Spring Pansy
others: prismacolors, OMS, nestabilities, SU scallop border punch, diamond stickles

Thanks for stopping by! I'd love to see your Flutter By creations!! If you create a card or project with a butterfly, just leave a comment and a link on this post. Or if you upload to SCS or PCP, please use the keyword FBW so I can find your creation. Can't wait to see all those Flutter By's!

For those of you who work ahead, the challenge for next week is to use a butterfly and buttons on your card. Team member Kimmie suggested this challenge and it also reminds me so much of the talented Tammi! So get out those butterflies and buttons!!
