Cutest Critter

 Hello Friends!

     I can not believe it's already August and time for school to start back for my kiddos. It is also time for a new challenge over at Paper FunDay, Challenge #32 Anything goes with an optional twist/ Cute Critters.

A BIG "Thank You" to our sponsors this month Polkadoodles and Eureka Stamps.

The image I am using this month is Early Butterfly, an adorable lil hedgehog critter from Polkadoodles!

I started out with the image and used alcohol markers to color and blend, I then scanned the image and made it a tad smaller to fit in my scalloped frame die cut. I then used Distress Inks to fill in around the image and to frame the outside background. I chose some Stampin UP DSP with the Butterfly Brilliance set for my background to the front of the card.

I then chose to put a yellow background behind my scalloped frame just to make it pop. I die cut the smallest butterflies from my stamping UP Butterfly Brilliance set and chose three colors of pearled paper to cut them from. I added some creases and some white gel pen for added details. I used a Spellbinders Hello Die for my sentiment on the front of the card and used the same three colors as the small butterflies and layered them.

 I used a small "you are loved" stamp for the inside and the coordinating butterfly stamp from Butterfly Brilliance and framed it with Distress Ink.

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see your beautiful card entries over at Paper FunDay Challenges!!

Wishing my most special friend Anne Buckingham a very Happy Birthday Today!!!
