Sweet with MarDi

Sweet Caterpillar is the theme this week, so what image does that evoke in your mind? I don’t think my first thought would be donuts but they certainly do make a cute caterpillar as they are displayed in the inspiration photo. This one stumped me a little at first but once the wheels started turning, I had a lot of fun coming up with my A6 card design. Inspiration came from the sweet donuts, whimsical caterpillar, and the sketch. As you can see, my caterpillar has morphed into a darling little butterfly, ready to consume these delicious donuts.

To create my card, I used Pink and Main Box of Donuts Dies, Whimsy Stamps Beecause stamp set, Catherine Pooler Small Doily Die and Sweet word die, and the hope your birthday is was taken from an MFT Stamps sentiment set.

We would really like to see how this theme, photo, or sketch has inspired you to create. We hope you’ll join us this week. Happy crafting! ~MarDi
