This is my second card for the Butterfly Challenge, which is one of my favs!  Each challenge offers several colors and a theme that we can use on our cards, plus a specific creative fold that we can use if desired.  The current challenge is to create a Latch Fold Card and sponsor, Mrs. A, provides easy-to-follow instructions.  My card includes all four of the colors (Lake Blue, Lettuce, Light Pink, and lavender), and all three themes (Latch Fold, Lace- the paper kind, and Butterfly.) I’m entering this card into several challenges including Incy Wincy Designs- Nature (What can beat flowers in this category?)

This card, featuring a few gems from my scrapbook stash is my first entry in Double D’s current challenge that’s all about handles! Nestled between the handlebars of this red bike image is a lovely basket of Spring flowers. I fussy-cut a few flowers from a scrap of patterned paper, then attached them to the baskets display with foam tape to add some depth.

My final card this posting was created for the current Lift Challenge that requires a Tunnel Card and provided a link to an excellent tutorial. I used a scrap of acetate as my middle section because it provides support for the large fussy-cut Mermaid image and allows the background to show through. Lots of cute little critters from a Fred She Said digi set help add some activity and colors to the card. So fun!
