Die Cut Dreams meets Sweet Pea Stampers
Good morning folks, I hope you have all enjoyed a fabulous weekend. I woke up to brilliant sunshine this morning which is a blessing considering we have had torrential rain and awful thunderstorms this past three days. It looks as if our family celebration is not to be, received email to say our flights for tomorrow are cancelled, that is us joining 1000´s of others but not too bad because at least we are stranded at home unlike the unfortunate holiday makers.
Anyhoo onto my cards for today.
First of all I wish my wonderful DT buddy Vikki a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
This week at Die Cut Dreams we challenge you to
So all you have to do is use some tearing somewhere on your entry. There is a fabulous tuturial on the Blog from our lovely Victoria, well worth checking out.
Now I am not a tearer but I really enjoyed this technique so may even try it again lol. As you can see I have torn around my paper and Penny Black "tender hearts" image so nothing difficult in that is there? I am also combining this card with Stamp Something - Something Layered, Stamp with Fun - Animals and Stampin´Sisters in Christ - Flowers ... both cards
My 2nd card today is for Sweet Pea Stampers and our theme this week is
The DT have used images that include Alice. You can use fairies or Alice just as long as your card conjures up a Wonderland.
I have used Ching Chou Kuik´s "Mad Tea Party" decoupage sheet from The Crafty Purple Frog and found this so relaxing to cut out. Papers, flowers etc are all from my stash.
Time to go shopping as all fresh food has gone, freezer is empty but think I will keep it that way hoping we manage to get a flight. Have a lovely day and don´t do too much . -x-

Sweet Pea Stampers
Good morning and welcome to a new challenge and some wonderful news at Sweet Pea Stampers.
We are very excited to announce that we are now sponsored by Sweet Pea Stamps. One lucky person will be picked at random each week as the winner of a Sweet Pea image from Sweet Pea Stamps .
This weeks prize is ©ching-chou kuik's Puppet Angel in the Circus
Each month we will also have a "Card of the Month" and this person will win three Sweet Pea Stamp images.
This week we challenge you to include Acetate on your project, something I very seldom use so had to get the old grey matter working for this one.
I stamped onto acetate with Stazon then turned it over and added Art Institute glue and glitter to her dress and glamour dust to wings, light touches to her hair and sun/moon.
I then stamped again with Memento ink onto card and coloured her hair, skin, sun/moon with Copics - sorry forgot to take piccie of this part - then I chalked the background.
Once all glues were dry I then added more Art Institute glue onto the already glittered parts and carefully aligned the acetate onto the card and left once again to dry. I then trimmed the finished image and matted onto navy blue card from stock.

I love my punches so this challenge was the perfect excuse to have a play. I have been good and restricted myself to only using 3 although I was tempted to punch out some leaves and include a sentiment onto a punched out circle.
I cut out a 5cm circle from the centre of the orange paper and punched around this using the gold punch, punched the corners with the purple one and the flowers of coarse came from the blue retro.

Flutter By Wednesday reaches 100
Today marks our 100th Challenge at Flutter By Wednesday and in honour of Danni, the creator and fantastic leader, we the DT are celebrating this wonderful event with something special. Danni asked us if we could all use a butterfly on our project this week to mark our 100th Challenge.

After cutting and assembling my Butterfly Box I drew a butterfly free hand then ran this through the cuttlebug folder. Top butterfly is stamped onto acetate with stazon and decorated with Art Institute Glitter. The handle was made using MS Valentine punch and trimmed with ribbon. Floral and Pearl display are all from Wild Orchid Crafts.
This week´s challenge is an open one, just make sure you have a butterfly, fairy or angel on your project and upload to Mr. Linky and if you upload to SCS or PCP please use the keyword, FBW.
I do hope you will all help us honour Danni´s 100th and don´t forget to check out the DT, links on my sidebar, to see what they have created with this fabulous template.
