We are back today with an inspirational post showcasing more ideas to inspire you and help get your creative juices flowing!

We can't wait to see what you create!

This month the challenge themes for you are:

GLITTER/FOIL, FLOWERS and/or PURPLE!

Our Ink Of The Month, which will be on sale all month long, just happens to be a lovely shade of PURPLE!! This month features the gorgeous Alluring Amethyst Ink Pad, Cube and Reinker!! Grab it now to add to your collection.

Krafty Girl Karla is hosting the mid-inspiration post today!

I decided to combine all 3 prompts for this one!

The background is sparkly using glitter embossing powder over deco duo gel through the Krafty Kaleidoscope

For the flower I used Love Bugs, and the leaves from Perfect Poinsettia.

For the sentiment I used Springtime Sentiments.

Every month we post a brand new challenge with three themes to choose from, and a mid month inspiration post with even more creative ideas! You are welcome to enter as many times as you like.

Day two of the Kraftin Kimmie May Release: Flutter High!

Welcome back to Day TWO of our May Krafty Peeks!

Are you excited about what you've seen so far!? Are you ready for more?

I hope your answer was yes because we've got more fabulous fun for you today!

The stamp set we are 'peeking' for you today is from

artist Michelle Houghton

and it's called.....

FLUTTER HIGH!

There are so many ways to use these beautiful butterflies and the accessory bee and flower stamp! The uplifting sentiments are perfect for any occasion!

Check out FLUTTER HIGH! and our new stencils in so many awesome creations today as you hop around the Krafty Team's blogs!

For this card I really wanted to bring the shimmer and sparkle!

I started by heat embossing the cute butterflies and flower with white embossing on black mix media paper.

I then painted with some Tim Holtz shimmer sprays and added some glitter ink overtop.

I added the butterflies to a chipboard frame that I painted with black paint, stickles, and some gems.

You'll see more of our May goodies all week, and then everything will be released after our LIVE Online Release Party on Saturday at 2 pm ET in the Krafty Friends facebook group!
