Outlines - Not a Card-Hang it up

Ready for  challenge that doesn't allow a card?  Outlines did it this week: http://outlineswithkathy.blogspot.com/.  It waited all week while I thought and thought...then this afternoon I had the idea to stamp the angel on acetate....glitz it with Glitter glue..."watched" the glue dry...then finally I rolled it up and popped it into the "hanging" glass ornament.  Won't this be pretty on the tree with lights shining through!

Outlines Friendly Flight #24

When I read the criteria for this week's challenge at Outlines Rubber Stamp Company (http://outlineswithkathy.blogspot.com/) I knew I finally had a "reason" to used this butterfly scrap.  Would you believe the image is  one that was "stamped" on a baby wipe.  I had actually used the rubber stamp on a card, and had stamped it on a baby wipe to clean it.  The resulting image was rather intriguing and so I dried and saved it.  To make the card for the challenge, I painted the butterflies with Stickles and framed it with narrow stripes of black.  The card base was embossed using a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  Never let a good "scrap" go to waste!
