Chase Your Dreams - You Just Might Catch One...


What a great thought!

Love this sentiment and the Butterfly Bubbles image from 

which I used for my Design Team 
Inspiration Card
a step card
for Challenge #68
at





The base of the card was distressed with ink using a make up sponge.

I used some white card stock and 
Tim Holtz Distress Inks and Paints
 to color my background.
Added a strip of 1/8" scor tape and turquoise glitter.

I colored the image with colored pencils, 
added glitter around the punch, and 
liquid pearls was painted over the
 butterfly and 
around the edges of the image.

I added some clear glitter to the "bubbles"

The sentiments were fancy cut and
 mounted to gray card stock and 
attached to the card with foam tape.  

I added some extra bling and a few dots of liquid pearls to finish off the card

I'm The Cutest

Love Love Love

It was my choice for the 
Paper Piecing Challenge #70 at
 Love To Create this week.




I believe that each one of us has our own interpretation of paper piecing 
and I'm not sure if mine is right or wrong, 
or if there really is a right or wrong on this technique.

Based on the detail cutting involved I'm not going to give 
step by step instructions on this card,
 but if you follow along with the 
photo tutorial,
 I think you can get the basic idea of
 what I'm trying to accomplish for this theme.
