FBW #191 Photo inspiration

Morning everyone!!  Please excuse the lateness of this post!!  

Another Wednesday is here and man is February going by too fast or what?!!  Well hopefully we can slow it down with a new challenge at Flutterby Wednesday.  We hope ya'll enjoyed last week's A.W.W. (Anything with wings) challenge.   It was really fun to see what ya'll came up with.  This week we are back to normal with our angel, fairy or butterfly incorporated into this week's challenge.  I'm pretty sure it's one that you will like.  Danni asked the DT to use this beautiful photo to inspire our creative juices .


Isn't this gorgeous?!  And sooo PINK!!  hahaha.. I'm sure some of you are in ga-ga heaven that it's so pink, but there are other colors and inspiration here, right?!  lol..   Be sure to check out my fellow awesome teammates inspirations by using the side bar on the left under the Flutterby Team banner, or you can head on over to the Flutterby Wednesday blog and link from there. 

Here is what I came up with using a few of the newest C.C. Design images and a new AmyR sentiment that I got via All That Scraps.  These can all be found here in the February 2012 release.  The first of the images is Swiss Pixie Lucy, she's sitting on top of a Swiss Pixie Woodland daisy.  The sentiment is from the Be Happy sentiment set.


Pretty CAS, leaving the images as the main focus of the card.  I used a MS flower border punch to add on the opening.  Also used a MS butterfly punch (with kraft cs (Recollections)).  The dp is part of an old G.C.D. Studio paper pad collection called Rose Colored Glasses.  I used a white pencil to outline the butterfly.  I substituted a sunflower for the original acorn that is in her hair.  Colored this with Copics.


Alrighty, I hope you like what I came up with and it inspires you as much and the photo.  Now it's your turn to create.  Please use the photo inspiration above, plus an angel, fairy or butterfly on your card for this week's challenge and link up with us here.   Lookin' foward to your projects this week.  Have fun with it!!

Mahalo for stopping by!!  Enjoy the rest of your week!

Before I forget, please use the Panda Express coupon located on the top left of my side bar today for a free serving of our newest shrimp dish, Peppercorn Shrimp.  It's pretty good and a wok smart item.
Hugs,
Leanne

Supplies not listed above:
