This is my second entry into the current Butterfly Challenge, which is one of my favs! Each challenge offers several colors and
themes we can use on our cards, plus provides instructions for a creative fold
that we can use if desired. The current
challenge is to create a Floating Strip Card, which I learned is really easy to
make! The front of the card is from a colorful upcycled tulip card. My card features all four of the colors: Fuchsia, Fawn, Flax, Flame, and all three
themes: flowers, floating strip card, and butterfly, which I printed on acetate,
embossed with a fine line black embossing powder, and colored with markers and
white gel pen. (I
decided to decorate the
inside of the card with a strip of the upcycled tulip card and will add a
specific sentiment when needed.)

I love gingerbread cookies, both enjoying the real ones fresh from the
over, AND making cards with digital ones. I love the look of this little guy, printed onto kraft brown paper
and with a tartan plaid background. He is the perfect addition to the inside
sentiment from Beccy’s Place that holds way too much truth in it! “Frosting”
was added with a small bottle of 3-D paint I’ve had in my stash for some time.
I'm entering this card into several challenges, including one that is new to me. Named Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers Group, the FB-based group is hosting a Spring Linky party. They also hold weekly sketch challenges that I plan to enter when my schedule allows because you can never have enough Christmas cards!

Rudolph Days Challenge- April
Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge- #591 AG
Artist Francesca Lopez developed this
sweet little bunny girl for the April Cute As A Button Progressive Challenge on
FB. I cropped the digi, cropping it to focus just on her head and shoulders so
I could have her peeking through a large wreath. I created the wreath by
sketching a donut shape that would fit the front of a large (A7 size) card on
the purple-flowered paper. I bit of fussy-cutting around the flowers created
the wreath base. I fussy-cut additional
purple flowers, plus cut several from the pink-flowered paper and layered them
atop the wreath. A scattering of leaves cut from scraps of green vellum, plus items from
my stash and two sentiments finish the pretty Easter card.
