Tripple Challenge from Stamp Something

The Stamp Something blog is having a challenge and I participated!

I was kind of inspired by my previous wedding card when I created this one.

The challenge is to use 3 layers, 3 colors and 3 embellishments

My three layers are patterned paper by paper adventures, vellum, and the punched paper with the image.

My three colors are burgundy, white vellum embossed with the Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls folder and the green leaves of the bouquet in the Stampin' Up image.

My three embellishments are ribbon, glitter on the veil, dress accents and flowers and tiny white brads.

I just LOVE how sweet and simple this card is!

Bill's Sketch Challenge #1

Happy Leap Day!

I figured I'd get something in today, since it only comes around every 4 years!

Yesterday, my good friend Allie told me about this really nifty blog My Creative Corner.

Dawn's husband, Bill, designed a sketch ...which is totally cool!  They are having a contest with the sketch, so I thought I would enter!!

I came up with this design last night around 1am.  I always have my best ideas after midnight!

It is green patterned paper (I have no idea where it's from) in a stripe design with baby pink and lime green card stock on a black card base.  

I used the dragonfly from SU's Nature's Wonders set (that I won on e-bay!!) stamped in black and colored it in with my Lyra watercolor crayons in greens and pinks.  

I added some hand doodling around the edges of the pink papers (inspired by Allie).

I ripped and inked (palette - viridian leaf) the edge of the dragonfly, and then added Prisma Glitter to the wings.  

I finished it off by using Czek Cut Crystals in Perdot instead of rhinestones, to give it a bunch of extra bling factor!

I will be in Jamaica when the winner is announced, but if I DO win I have my contact info on my web page (link at the side - The Creative Castle) in the Royal Messenger section!

Wish me luck!
