A Forest Blue Makeover

Welcome to wonderful Wednesday with Paper Jewels and Flutter By Wednesday!  Today I have the pleasure of sharing with you one of the newest images in the Paper Jewels store - Forest Blue.  However she is no longer blue - but welcoming the dawn of a new day in cinnamon stickles.

Both the Heidi Swapp and Wild Orchid flowers received makeovers with glimmer mist.  I will probably end up adding dazzling diamonds on her wings and possibly the rays of the sun.

Please check out the rest of the fabulous creations by the Flutter By Wednesday design team and I hope to see you flutter with us!  Remember that in order to qualify for this week's open challenge, you must include a butterfly, fairy or an angel on your creation. 

Thank you for looking.

A Sweet Pea for Jen

Today I have a special Sweet Pea to share for Flutter By Wednesday.  This week's challenge at FBW is being sponsored by Glitterbabe Greetings and we challenge you to make it SPARKLE!  In honour of Stef - aka Glitterbabe, I went a tad overboard with my Stampin' Up! Dazzling Diamonds and covered the mermaid's clothing, outlined three of the flowers on the patterned paper, and streaked her hair.

The challenge at Lili of the Valley is blue and silver so I raided my metal accent stash and found these letters.  Next month a very special someone celebrates her birthday so I added her name to the front of this card with silver cord.  The sparkle of the dazzling diamonds is quite spectacular and flashes silver.

Foam squares were used to raise up the matted image and glue dots helped add shape to the three butterflies.  Jenny at Paper Jewels is currently taking pre-orders for the latest Ching-Chou Kiuks Fantasy Art Collection and has in stock many more to choose from!

Paper Sundaes Eleventh Challenge

Welcome back to yet another fabulous Sunday!  Today marks the first photo inspiration challenge on Paper Sundaes!  Christine found on the internet an absolutely gorgeous photo full of bright jewel tones:

Maybe Next Time by: P0RG

I was inspired by the bright tones and was drawn to the purples and greens:

The layout is following the current challenge at Friday Sketchers.  I restrained myself (barely) from limiting my use of sparkly, shimmery items:

Dark Royalty for Flutter By Wednesday

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday!  This week's challenge at FBW blog is an open one - just remember that you need to use a butterfly, a fairy, or an angel.  Thanks to a friend, I was able to play with ching-chou kuik's Dark Royalty from Sweat Pea Stamps.  She has been coloured with distress inks and touched up with some Smooch ink and Stickles for extra sparkle.

This dark princess is based on Mercy's Tuesday Sketch and will also be entered into the challenges at The Pink Elephant (Challenge #43 favorite colouring medium - distress inks) and Quixotic (I believe in fairies).
