A recipe and a sketch- Spring fun

5:30 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I can't believe it is Wednesday already. Wow! Where does the time go!! Today is the day to share another Inky Impressions challenge and a Flutterby Wednesday. They are both fun challenges and perfect for combining.

Flutter by Wednesdays challenge is a sketch created for Flutter By Wednesday by Mercy and to use a butterfly, fairy and/or angel on your creation!! I just love Mercy's sketches!! Should you create something for this challenge, please leave a direct link to Mr. Linky here. If you upload to PCP and Splitcoast, please use the keyword FBW.

The Inky Impressions challenge is a two week challenge due before Midnight on May 3. This week's Inky challenge is a recipe: 3 layers, 2 designer papers, 3 embellishments and a ribbon. I just love how perfect it works with Mercy's sketch!! If you create a card or project using this challenge please a direct link here. You don't need to use an Inky Impressions image for the challenge but if you have them, we would love to see them.

Here is my take on both challenges using the recipe, the sketch, and Lili Rollerskating. I had so much fun paper piecing her with Sassafrass Daisy Dots paper an water coloring her. I did some stitching but limited it due to there mostly being one base layer. I added lots of sparkle on the frame, heart on her shirt and butterflies.

I hope you enjoyed today challenges and you too are inspired to join the fun. For more inspiration, please visit my dt sisters at Flutter By Wednesday for the sketch, butterfly, angel or fairy at these links:Danni , Michelle , Alex, Ann, Brandi, Christine, Debby, Harriet, Jodi, Karen, Kimberly, Kris, Kristie, Lelia, Nancy, Randi, and Shana.
