It's Wednesday so that means another new challenge at Inky Impressions and this week it is one of my favorites, "Use Punches or Die Cuts!"

I love these butterflies, they are made from painted feathers and I found them in the floral department at Hobby Lobby. I love to look in all the areas of craft stores, you never know what treasures you may find, plus if they are not labelled "Paper crafts" then you know they will be cheaper and we are all looking to stretch our crafty $$ a little further ;)
Anyway if you have time we sure would love to see your Blue creations at Inky Impressions this week.
