Tomorrow is a new day

Hello! I've made a card to play along in the current Wplus9 Sketch Challenge. There is the above sketch to follow, and here is my take on it...

I started by using a curvy border die to draw a curved line that I could later cut out around my images. I stamped the butterflies from the Flora And Fauna 2 set by Wplus9 and watercolored them with distress inks. I cut up to the butterflies, and then fussy cut around the wings that I wanted to hang off the curve. So, the butterfly panel is all one piece. :)

I used a woodgrain embossing folder for the right side, and I think it makes the wings that hang off really pop. :) The greeting is from the A New Day set by Wplus9. 

I hope you're having a wonderful day.

MCT Tag It Tuesday- Reindeer Crossing

Hello! It's Tag It Tuesday at MyCreativeTime. For my tag I used the Just Tags dies. I used the 3 Stitched Star Dies for my window on the tag. I stamped the deer from the Oh Deer set. I colored him with my prismacolor pencils. I also used them to color the background behind the deer. 

I gave the deer googlie eyes and a great big sparkly red nose. The greeting is also from the Oh Deer set. I embossed the panel with THIS embossing folder. 

Pop over to MyCreativeTime to see more creations.

p.s. My new Cricut Explore should be here tomorrow. Eek! :)
