FBW #150 Soft Pastel Colors

I'm so in awe of today. FBW Challenge #150! Wow!! Plus a few weeks ago we had 200+ entries! Wow!! I never dreamed anyone would like my challenge, yet alone play along. Thank you to all of you who have made Flutter By Wednesday a success!!

(I went back in my archives and peeked at my first FBW..hehe..March 5, 2008! My how time flies when you're having fun!)

Be sure to check out the FBW Blog today as there are some fun things going on and so you can find out more about this week's challenge! Don't forget to visit my Flutter By Team too!! links are on the sidebar!


I knew when I came up with today's challenge that I would struggle with it. The challenge is to use soft pastel colors. Yeah. That is not me very often but that's why it's a challenge, right?

I used my new Daffodil Charlotte from Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps.I decided it might be easier for me to achieve the soft pastels if I paper pieced, so that's what I did..hehe! I used the gorgeous Butterfly Garden Collection paper by Pink Paislee.
