Stamp TV Color Challenge

I decided to participate in my first color challenge. StampTV.com is hosting one with the colors Red, Yellow, and Turquoise.

For a change up, I embossed the Martha Steward butterflies in black on watercolor paper. Then I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink and yellow water color to add color to each of the butterflies. Then I cut them out.

I used Forever Young Cricut cartridge to cut the layers of the flower. I attached it together using a glimmer brad. I cut a piece of red cardstock at 5 1/4 x 4 and a turquoise piece at 5 x 3 3/4. I used my Cuttlebug and the D'vine Swirls folder on the turquoise cardstock and I layered this on the red cardstock. I added ribbon around this piece and attached it to a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base.

I attached the butterflies and flower using glue dots. With my Sakura Gelly Roll Medium White Pen I added stitching to the flower and around the entire card.I added red Stickles to the small butterfly to bring the red into the butterfly.

Our Creative Corner Challenge

Another challenge card. This one is a sketch challenge. Visit http://www.ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/ to see the sketch.

This is my first attempt at paper piecing. This turned out so well, I think I'll do it again on another project. I used patterned paper from the DCWV, Sweet Shoppe stock. My local Joanne's had all of their stacks on sale and a few of the 8x8's were $5. I snagged a few of them.
