I did manage to make a card today for the Embellish Challenge. Plus I had a new flower technique I wanted to try and a PTI package at my door. What more do you need to be creative? Here is the color/item challenge:
I just love the pictures Ashley uses for these challenges. They are always terrific. And here's my card:
Stamps: Big and Bold Wishes (PTI)
Card Stock: Lemon Tart, Stampers Select White (PTI)
Pattern Paper: Cherry Hill (October Afternoon)
Ribbon: Pure Poppy (PTI)
Button: Pure Poppy (PTI)
Did I mention that flower is just folded paper? I watched a little 1 minute video on YouTube to learn how to make the petals. Unfortunately the video isn't that great. It's just visual so it took me forever to learn the last step. Maybe I'll do my own video. Let me know if you're interested.

I've been SUPER impressed with all of the EBTKS challenge cards! You ladies are rocking that sketch. If you haven't played along you still have until the 24th.

I'll be posting the rest of my December Daily tomorrow!

My week's been crazy, but this card stopped me dead in my tracks - WOW (this doesn't express my thoughts, really)...I knew I didn't have time to give this comment justice then, so I waited - my thoughts are still the same. This is fantabulous! I love everything about it - the flower, the bling & brads, the background. Can't wait to see it front & center on the embellish blog :) This was definitely my favorite card of the week :)
