The theme of the first challenge is Anything Goes using one or more dies that Scrapy Land carries (there are over 40 brands to choose from!!). You could win a $15 gift certificate to Scrapy Land!!

I created this card for a dear friend who was celebrating a very special day with her family :) The papers are from The Paper Studio. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The bottom layer of the butterfly is a Memory Box Isabella die and the top is a Memory Box Pippi die. They were coated with a layer of Sugar Coating.

The window was cut with a Spellbinders Labels Twenty-Two. The frame was made with a Spellbinders Decorative Labels Twenty-Two and a Labels Twenty-Two. The frame was covered with TH Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint. Once it dried. TH Victorian Velvet Distress Stain was applied to the cracks. The button on the ribbon is a Die-Versions Sweet Petite Button die.

Happy Monday and happy Labor Day to my friends in the US!! It's time for another Craft It Up & Link It Up Linky Party at Craftin Desert Divas. Our theme this week is a fun one - anything goes!!

For my card, I used papers from The Paper Studio's Kirby Teesdale Studio paper stack. The edges were inked with a Zutter DIA.

The window was cut with a Spellbinders Standard Circles Large die. A Spellbinders Picot Edge Circle was adhered to clear plastic and inserted in the window. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Leaves were cut in pink vellum with a Memory Box Fresh Foliage die. The butterfly is also from Memory Box and it was covered with Doodlebug Sugar Coating.

Here's my project I created:

Believe it or not, I went CAS!! Oh, it was sooo hard for me!! You know how much I love layers!! But I wanted to go simple for this one to highlight the sentiment. I got the inspiration for this card on Pinterest HERE. I taped off a section of paper and then painted on Twinkling H2O's in three colors. You can't tell in the photos, but it really shimmers. Once they dried, I placed a Crafter's Workshop Chicken Wire stencil over the top and sponged on Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. I used Twinkling H2O's for the second layer of the card, too.

The stamp is from Stampendious. Because I couldn't have that much blank white space, I added a Memory Box butterfly covered with Doodlebug Design Sugar Coating.

 "Celebrate" is from Say It Big.

1. DL.Art - June Linky
