January 3,2018 Wings

We welcomed in 2018 at home with friends.  Dinner and playing games/cards.  Not one for big crowds or drinking (way too expensive). 

For our first challenge of 2018 our Rock Star Laurie chose "Wings" - anything with wings, so that is a pretty broad challenge. 


I love butterflies so I used Butterfly - sm 9009-F found here  and the sentiment Think of You 1105-E found hereThis was a fun card to put together after I found the background paper.  I added a border punch (Martha Stewart)  on the top, a strip of some dull ivory for my focus image and sentiment.  Colored the butterfly with Copic markers and for the gold my Wink of Stella fold pen.  Added some tiny pearls for my bling and stamped my sentiment. 

Now it is your turn to make a card using the challenge of Wings  - as you can see there are a lot of possibilities for this challenge.  You have a full month to enter our challenge to win.  You do not have to use Repeat Impressions stamps but if you do you will be entered twice for the drawing of a $25 gift certificate to Repeat Impressions. 

If you look on my right side bar I also have a discounted coupon for you to use when you go shopping at Repeat Impressions.
Now why not take a look at our DT Rock Stars for inspiration and to get you started.

Almost makes me forget that it's only 18 degrees outside! What a pretty card! Thanks for the inspiration!

What a cool background!! I love the extra pop the pearls give your butterfly and the ink spatters around the sentiment! Such a pretty card!

Donna said...

Fabulous card, like that background and all the little butterflies fluttering about!

I LOVE butterflies, so this card really appeals to me. Your background paper is so pretty with those butterflies all over it. I once saw a brilliant blue butterfly in the rain forest in Costa Rica, and I couldn't believe its brilliant color. Your butterflies reminded me of that one.

Love your card! I love butterflies, and the big one at the bottom with the pearls is gorgeous.

Beautiful!! I love how you used the pearls with the stamped butterfly. I usually use rhinestones, but the pearls have a totally different look. Definitely going to have to give that a try.
