Today was a very non-productive day due to the weather. So I stayed inside in my air-conditioned room and browsed through some blogs. I decided to give it a shot and try out a challenge that Denise participated in from the Stamp Something Challenge Blog. It was a sketch. So I tried to be a sport (as Denise knows, I HATE rules) and do what the sketch depicted. I used teal and brown and tan with some white and cream. I used ribbon, twine and a chipboard embellishment as well as a rhinestone brad. The stamp is from Stampin' Up's Merci set. I also used a texture plate to do the tan background. I also put some 3-D gel with sparkle on the butterfly's body, antennae and spots on the wings. This is NOT my style, but I kind of like how it came out. I wish I could get a better picture for you to see! Since the camera isn't working well on it's own, and the scanner quality stinks, I'm working on a light box. I hope to have better quality pics on here very soon! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great night and a Happy Monday :)

I think this came out great! I love the color combo, I just made a card today that I'll post tomorrow that uses turquoise and brown. I like the different strips of color and the sentiment. Great use of that twine too. It's really beautiful, thanks for trying our challenge too! :)
be sure to post a comment on our challenge blog to be entered into the drawing too! :)
