FBW #103 and Raise the Bar #11

Happy Wednesday! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Today's challenge at Flutter By Wednesday is a color combo~ blue, green and white. Be sure to check out all the Flutter By Team members blogs (links are all under the tab at the top of my blog, I proudly design for) to see their fab creations!

I'm also entering this in Raise The Bar's Challenge #11 which is APRIL FOOL!
Show us a style that you normally don't do! 


As most of you know, I normally create cards with an image I can color. Well today I decided to use my SU Flight of the Butterfly for my card and lookie..no coloring!! This card took me WAY longer than it should have! Way out of my element when I can't color! LOL! It seems way too simple but I couldn't figure what else to do it! 



supplies:
  • card size: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
  • stamps: SU Flight of the Butterfly,
  • paper: SU cardstock,
  • ink: SU brilliant blue, SU glorious green,
  • others: SU punches, rhinestone stickers,
Also bear with me while I try to find the layout/design that I like for my blog. It's an adventure to see what I have each time you come to visit! Have a happy fluttering day!

I have that SU set, and know I know another way to use it thanks to you. I really like the color combo, and will try to "flutter by" this week.

I think it is great Danni. Sometimes we get so far away from simple that we forget how stunning it can be. I love it!

Karen Wilson said...

This is beautiful, Danni! I love it. I love the simplicity of it, yet it's elegant at the same time. Gorgeous!

Christine Riley said...

I think this is absolutely gorgeous, Danni! I love the elegance of it. I'm like you, I always color. But I'm trying to challenge myself to do some CAS cards. Thanks for the inspiration :)

Oh it's cute!! I like the no coloring - you did a fabulous job. I bet it took awhile though as you are so used to coloring. :)

I think it is fabulous! And not coloring is my favorite thing to do because I am so bad at it. I love doing different backgrounds with different textures and mediums and then stamping my image and then wa la. no coloring. love it. I think this is beautiful and you should be proud.

Jen said...

I sooooo hear what you are saying about the coloring but I think this gorgeous!!!

Danni this makes sooo much sense! You had me fooled by your wonderful style, I love this butterfly and the swirly phrase to mimic its flight. Wonderful job this week. :D Thank you so much for joining us at Raise The Bar this week!

Christy said...

awesome

Christine said...

I love this!!! I really struggle with CAS at times as well. I have a couple of layouts that I do each time or I really struggle. I have an amazing # of sketches but that just doesn't seem to matter!!!

Blessings,
Christine
