If you know me well enough, you will see my favorite things here.  I am so in love with this orange, tangelo twist.  I am glad Stampin’Up! will keep it around for another year.  It has been lovely so far.

When I first got my hands on this butterfly framelit set I couldn’t get this idea out of my head.  I thought about using a retired punch to build flowers for this butterfly to rest on, but gave this stamp set a try instead.  What do you think/

I worked with water color paper for all of the layered bits, even the butterfly.  I liked being able to sponge, sprintz, and just go at that butterfly.  It really held up well even with all of those delicate openings.

I had to make a matching gift bag, of course.  This is also done in water color paper.  It is spritzed, stamped, sponged, and stamped some more.  I hadn’t made a bag yet in this type of paper.  I will certainly be doing this again.  It was so fun.

The only thing that would have made this one step better was having a dragonfly involved.  They are my favorite.

Have a creative day!
