Things with Wings

"Things with Wings".

Using "Pretty Fairy" from one of our sponsors this week
I colored my image with Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.

The sentiment was stamps and die cut.

Cute As A Button Inspiration

Hello all!
I'm on the
Cute As A Button Inspiration Blog
with my inspiration post for February.

I love this stamp and just had to use it!

Tea Time

Normally I start a project by choosing the papers first.
This time I knew I wanted to use purples as
my color scheme so I colored the image first with
Spectrum Noir pencils and Fiskars gel pens before fussy cutting.


Then I collected all the papers and other elements I thought
would work well with the image.


Next, I prepared the card base.


The rectangle panels were put together next.


I adhered the panels, ribbon and a doily to the base.


Then came the finishing touches.



I hope you'll check out all the fabulous digital stamps available at

Then stop by the
and check out more inspiration from the DT
and join in the challenge.
And don't forget to show us what you create with 
Cute As A Button images at our Facebook Group.

Until next time,
Happy Crafting!
