You better be on the lookout for butterflies fluttering around in the gallery today. We Teapot Tuesday Tea Partiers are all a-flutter with our newest challenge. For the whole story, look HERE....only the Muddamark can tell our story perfectly.
The butterfly I have 'fluttering' around here is from Innovative Stamp Creations. I did some fancy paper piercing, colored with Copics, used an EK Success punch, a sentiment from another company (can't remember at the moment....a bad habit of mine...sorry), and some regular piercing as well. Finished it off with some black pearls.
Thanks so very much for looking. I sincerely hope that all these fluttering butterflies carry wonderfully encouraging wishes to the Tea Party's Destination Station....one of our own SCS community members who is struggling with breast cancer and chemotherapy.
Hugs,
Joanne

Stunning with the beautiful piercing and that lovely edging punch.
What? You did not remember the name of that sentiment? (I can't count the times I leave that line blank for my recipe...!)

I really didn't think that this challenge was gonna turn a bunch of teapotters into flutterby thiefs! What local flutterby farm did you lift this real live flutterby from Snosnot! Yah, right, you aren't gonna convince me that this is an Innovative Stamp! Snort!
I agree, you did fancy schmancy paper piercing! This card is amazing and just grabs you in the gallery! So beautifully done! Hey, when you are in the slammer for nabbing flutterbys, say hi to all the teapotters for me!
Love it! Yay! Jackie will be thrilled!
Whisper: What a wonderful stamp that is! Wow, perfect for today!
