Burst of Colors

Hello dear crafting friends! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It's time already for our Belles 'n Whistles March Challenge . Audhild is our host and she wants to see Butterflies on your creations.  For my card I used 'Sweet Apple' and colored her using Copics. My DP choice is Bo Bunny's "Garden Girl' collection. I used a metal butterfly charm, some punched out butterflies and a die cut butterfly ( Whimsy Shapeology Die ). The flowers are from my stash and the rose leaves are punched out and embossed using a Nellie Snellen punch & emboss set (FPL029 & FLP031, available at DutchPaperCrafts ).   You'll find all the challenge details over at our BnW Challenge Blog  I hope you like to join us in this fun challenge, can't wait to see all the stunning creations! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Monday! Hugs, Iris

However I didn't make a card or paper creation...... but see for yourself... I just put the image in a simple white frame. I have to say Chloe is my absolute favorite image from this release.

Happy Monday Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are off to a good start into the new week. I have another 'icy creations' to show to you. I thought I better post it soon as Spring is not far and no one wants to see Winter creations then anymore ;-) My card shows another of  Memory Box's super cute polar bears. This one is called Wesley Bear. First I stamped the image onto card stock and then cut it out using the matching polar bear die. You can get both, the die and stamp,  HERE from DutchPaperCrafts! For the background I used the Memory Box Birch Background Stamp and some coarse snow glitter from Martha Stewart. I kept the card more simple just decorated with a few paper flowers, ribbon and some cut outs made with the Memory Box Snowflake Corner Die . All the stamps and dies from the Memory Box Polar Bear release are available from Dutch Paper Crafts ! And if you are looking for something particular from Memory Box I'm sure Darlene will
