Birthday Wishes

 I print this out and had it ready to play with a while back, just never did anything with it.  I came across it this evening...now it's almost midnight and I'm done with it.  LOL  I used my Cricut to cut out all of the leaves, I used dies to cut the long stitched banners and the stitched circle and the scalloped circle.  I added pearls, gems and two types of twine.  Used some brass butterflies from Stamp'in Up.




There is a lot going on here, but I love how it turned out!

Lifting You Up In Prayer

 This sweet little girl is from Polkadoodles.  She is called Butterfly Tree Fairy.  I used the current sketch from Try Stampin' -or not- On Tuesday, it looks like this:


Their optional theme is "Flower".  So, I went with that too (her hair and boot).  I went with blues and a touch of pink.  Mostly blue, and some pink gems.  I added some shimmer the fairy wings and to the butterflies.  I also used some blue glitter foam (not paper).  The sentiment I used is from a stamp set I got from Skipping Stones Designs a long time ago (no longer in business).  


Thanks so much for looking!

Succulants and frogs

 I just got these two images from Polkadoodles today.  The first one is called Honeypie Stick With Me, the second card has Flower Fairy Kissing a Frog.  I used my Cricut to cut both images out.  I also cut the frog out of the one image and used it on the side of the card with a fun crown (from Cricut).


The gold butterflies and thea green shiny gems are from Stamp'in Up, the shimmer ont he frogs cowns and the wings I used a clear shimmer pen from CTMH.  I added some flowers, used a doily and round frame.  I added some flowers, a sentiment I created and I used an edge punch.
