Chasing Butterflies over at Come and Get It! IN THE GARDEN is our Theme~ATG

 Well Spring is really in the air with temps in the 60's and lower 70's--I hope where ever you are that you're finally feeling some warmth in the air!
This week at Come and Get It our Theme is "In the Garden" which is always where I want to be!  The image I'm using , from Cute As a Button, is called Chasing Butterflies and reminds me so much of my daughter!  We love our flowers in this family and always chasing butterflies for her 4H project!
I colored her up in my favorite medium, Copics.  I like splitting the background papers-sort of balances the scene.  You can see the dimensional effects I added, the cloud and the fence-both of which are shaded but the lighting makes it a little hard to see and some purple "goosebumps" in the bottom right corner. 
I used paper lace under the matted picture but on top of the accent strip.
On the inside, I finished with with the dark purple design paper and a double matted sentiment--What a great card to get as a Thank You!
So now it's your turn-come over to Come and Get It and show us your latest project.  It will be an inspiration to us and love to get new ideas!

Always Anything Goes at Craft Your Passion! This week we feature Little Blue Buttons!

What a fun time I had coloring up this little cutie from Little Blue Buttons called Miss Lilly on a Bike.  This is for our Anything Goes Challenge at Craft Your Passion. 
I took a 6.25" square card blank and "chopped" out a part of the front-I wanted the picket fence to stand out in the design.  Covered the front with a spring-like yellow floral paper and mounted the image.  I love the combination of blues and yellows!!  Stuck down 2 sections of fence die cuts, mounted some small Gypsophila flowers from Wild Orchard, and stamped it for a friendship card.  I used some yellow embossed cardstock for the whole back panel and stamped an additional sentiment on the inside.  I can never get enough friendship cards made to send off!  Thanks for looking and we hope to see your creation on the website!

Always Anything Goes with Craft Your Passion

 This week we are so thankful to be sponsored at Craft Your Passion by Imagine That! Digis by Kris! 
This creative site has so many image sets to peak your interest-please check it out!  This challenge I'm using is called Bloom Where You Are Planted and it comes with both a black and white image and sentiments and pre-colored image and sentiments.  I chose to use a Thank you stamp from my stash but there were very cute ones included in with the set.  I love the look of the pastel plaids and found a great polka-dot to go with the colors.  I accented the card with enamel dots, fishtail strip and a loopy die cuts to show off the boots.
On the inside, I did a complimentary plaid with a blue label die cut for personalizing the card.
Please come on over to CYP and put your project into the challenge-we can't wait to see it!
