Beauty Layout

This is a layout I made for the current sketch challenge at My Creative Sketches. I used all DCWV paper from the magnolia stack. I fuzzy cut the butterfly and the bird and added pop dots to the title.

The pic is of me and baby Harmony on Mothers Day last year (2012). I love this pic!

Fluttering by card

I just finished up this cute butterfly card. I cut the butterfly from Best of 2008 Cricut cart but this cut is also found on the Home Accents cart. I just cut the base out of purple textured card stock. 

I outlined the wings with orchid twine from the twinery and used Caribbean for the body. I also added two dots of orcid to the wings and 4 dots of caribbean to the wings as well as a caribbean swirl to show that the butterfly was flying. 

The butterfly is on pop dots and the twine is all adhered with Zig glue (I used a fine tip pen).

The pink dot paper is from DCWV Nursery Baby Girl stack. The blue cloud paper is from Recollections and I cut the banner shape by hand and inked the edges in blue. I added the sentiment  stamped in black, love the stamps but never use them. The card base is white card stock from recollections.

Hope you found this as cute as I did :).
