Be Inspired #94

So very much to tell you... and where to start...
Better start with these cards...
They are for the Cuttlebug Challenge BE INSPIRED #94...
I didn't have internet, (for over 3 days!!!! Talk about withdrawal!!!!!) and had forgotten to up load this prior... oops...
so here they finally ARE...
The theme was sympathy...
As you can sort of tell.. I don't use somber colors at all.. so to me this is a time for flowers... bright colors... love and all kinds of caring things... so my cards might be a little bit different than the next... but that is ME...
I have been having fun with the quilled flower templates... love them.... if you want to know more about where to BUY them... you can get them right here... at TOYZ 4 Paper... just click there... and it will take you right there...
I have them on hand... and they are so much fun...

Here is a closeup of the flowers... just wanted you to see them... they are so pretty and any color your heart desires is perfect.. you cut, twill and create your own blooms...
Of course the back ground on this card is also the paisley folder... love the look

This card is a mixture of all kinds of news...
First off... Martha Stewart sells punch SETS... but that doens't mean that you have to use them all as sets... on this square.. I have used two different ones... try it... it is fun..
Then I added a pretty heart... Martha heart..

All on top of D'vine swirls... I painted the paper... and then used my Cuttlebug folder to create the swirls... and then a Ranger ink pad to color the swirls...

I used Liquid Pearls for the center of the flowers for the stamen and accents... love the dimensional looks you can get with the Liquid pearls..

This saying... is a favorite... when I found it... I loved it..
When someone you love becomes a memory
The memory becomes a treasure!!!
How true is that... so perfect...

On this card I used all kinds of textures to show off my pretty blooms... love making these... and will be doing a tutorial soon.. .more on that later..

A closeup of the Blooms..

My last card... and this one is really a favorite...
The background paper... twinkling H20's... and then I used the Blossom Cuttlebug folder... 5x7 size... love it... and then a dark purple ink over it..
My bloom is single... as I added a few butterflies...
I went to a memorial service once where everyone was given a brand new butterfly... One that was just born... never flown before... and they were all white...
At a certain time, we all let it go... and it was so wonderful.. .the energy was amazing... and there was not a dry eye in the place... and there were quite a few people there... and to see all these butterflies take flight was a sight... lovely...

Okay...
I am so very sorry.. .I have had a lot of things happen to me...
First off my shoulder froze.. then My whole body turned into ONE HUGE hive... that really itches... yikes...
Then my internet didn't work... AT ALL...
I can't really tell you which is the worse thing.. .they all are about the same..
I am not quite as red today... and the hives are going down...
And I am connected to the internet.. so things are starting to look up...

I will try and get back onto schedule with the tutorials this coming week..
First off one on punching ... and then the one on Quilling... or maybe vise versa... will have to see which one wins...

Have a fun day..
Enjoy... and create something fun...
I have a lot of cards to share with you... they are waiting in the side lines...
Will start tomorrow..

I live.... I create... I am....
Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
