crafty creations challenge #53

this weeks challenge is to use "wings" on your project!

I wanted to do something a bit different since when I think of wings, I think of butterflies, so I went to 50 states
and found this loon.....
 50 states   loon cut @ 1"
 cricut sampler trees @ 2 1/4"
 tore blue paper to make the water
 fiskers punch  sea pearls for the corners
Don Juan   DAD @ 3/4"
and DJ thinking of you @ 3/4" with the coffee cup cut off
brown inking also!

 

for those of you who are new to my blog,  this is how I do the inside of my cards for my family,

for years I have remodeled my sisters  stamped cards so that they can be reused instead of trashed.

(My parents are not keepers of anything) so I have decided to do this for every family member

they like getting a hand made card and also be able to send to a friend.

thanks for looking!

the cuttle bug spot Black and Silver challenge

I wanted to try out this challenge, 1. I had the time  2. black is a hard color for me to work with

red is cuttlbuged with Victoria folder
butterfly IA @ 2" and small @ 1 1/4"Jasmine corners @ 6 and 5 1/4"
love at 1/2' cricut sampler in shadow
paper is from my mind's eye and the red is Wausau paper (I love this deep red!)

 

  

the inside

this card went together really easy, mostly because I knew  I  wanted to 

make a butterfly, still waiting for spring...

thanks for looking

 Cricut Sampler  trees the bonus trees brown square @ 3 1/2 "
green bonus @ 3 1/2
trees cut @ 2" for the layered look in brown and green and pop dotted
George     thinking of you @ 1 1/4"

I had to make a card for a man and when I was looking through my paper the green said trees, I was really looking for blue for fishing, but I had to go with it.
This was my first S-card and I will be making  more of these, it went together quick and easy.
thanks for looking.
