Flutter By Wednesday #55

Hello!! Thanks for stopping by to see the Flutter By creations!! I simply love Wednesday's! It just makes me smile and so happy to see so many FABULOUS creations made with butterflies and fairies!!
Don't forget to visit last week's creations, if you haven't already! You can see them here, at the bottom of the post in Mister Linky.
This week's challenge is to use red, white and blue in your creations in honor of Sam leaving for his deployment. I'd love to have you play along!! Just create a card or project with a butterfly or fairy and if you want to, use the colors red, white and blue and then enter a direct link to your creation in Mister Linky, at the bottom of this post. If you upload to SCS or PCP, please use the keyword, FBW.
Our featured team member this week is Nancy! I haven't known her very long but I must say she has showered me with kindness and is very talented!! Be sure to stop by her blog and leave her some love!! Here's her wonderful creations~

I also wanted to give a shout out to my team!! I feel like I am just so lucky to have such an awesome team!! They all create such wonderful creations each week! So please be sure you stop by their blogs and leave them some love. All their links are on my sidebar. Also letting everyone know that Michelle had her surgery and things went well but her recovery is going slow so she won't have a card this week. Just keep her in your thoughts.
Here's what I came up with for this week~ This card actually took a bit more than I expected as when I was coloring Anya my royal blue copic decided to blob. Sigh.

So I cut out the main part of Anya to save her and then added her to another stamped image. Not too bad for an ACK moment! LOL! I will be cutting her out again though as she was just too cute without her wings!
As I was looking through my google reader, I came across this sketch and thought it would be perfect for this card.
I love the way this turned out! It is just so crisp, so clean. What do you think??

Supplies:
card size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
stamps: Flutter Anya, A Muse Essential Ovals,
paper:
ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, VersaMagic Aspen Mist,
others: copics, swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder, light sapphire Swarovski crystals, clear copic glitter pen,

Both cards are FABULOUS! And I SWEAR my post was up on time. I even took an icky night time picture so my post would be up on time except I scheduled it on April 20 instead of April 29, so it posted way back then. I fixed it now though.
