LOVER over at Flutter By Wednesday!

A new challenge has opened over at Flutter By Wednesday and this week we have a recipe for you...

L = 2 or more layers
O = have an odd number of embellishments (eg 3, 5, 7)
V = have the color Violet on your creation
E = you can use any color except Red
Remember your butterfly, fairy or angel!

So here is what I came up with...


Isn't she beautiful?  I don't think you can buy this though - sorry!  Lovely FBW leader Danni commissioned Victoria Case to make it for just for the design team!  I matched her up with gorgeous BasicGrey Wiseria papers with a touch of lace and created some shabby chic flowers.

You can see more fluttery gorgossity over at the Flutter By Wednesday blog!


I am entering my card into the following challenges:

    Hi Mary, what a supercute card! Love the image and the colors and DP you used and I love those flowers. The inside of the card matches so well! Thanks for leaving me such nice comments and I love visiting your blog. Love how you have your own style, I am still trying to develop my own. I was wondering how you keep track of all the challenges you enter and whether you win or not. sometimes I forget some of them and it would be a shame to win but then don't find out about it. Hugs, Hanneke

    I really love the fact that your butterfly is really tiny and you have not used a fairy, I have those papers and been a bit stuck with them, this is a really lovely card despite my previous comments, the layout is great and it is a very well designed card.
