Butterflies and Hexagons

Hello!

Thanks for visiting my little place in blogland :)

I have a card to share with you that I created for this week's CAS challenges over on SCS. We had to use the color combo of melon mambo, pear pizazz, crumb cake and white. When I first saw this challenge I thought......ewwww, cause I just really thought those colors didn't fit together. I really don't like the look of melon mambo against white so I wanted to soften that combo up a bit and this is what I went with....

By placing the crumb cake layer onto the white base....I think I accomplished my "hot pink" fear. :)

I cut the butterflies out after I inked them up with crumb cake and melon mambo inks using the rock and roll technique. These come from the SU stamp set, For All You Do. The sentiment is a MFT set called ~ Blessed Mouse. I love my CM hexagon punch so I decided to punch a few of those in melon mambo and pear pizazz. Then I just finished it off with a few white pearls.

I hope you join us this week with a CAS creation!

This Challenge Smells Great!

Hello!

I'm "crafty refreshed"!

I got home last night from a 3 day retreat. I got 26 pages finished and 4 cards. I love when I get crafting accomplished!!!

I wanted to share with you the card I made for this week's CAS challenge over on SCS. Our theme this week is "that smells great". I chose to use flowers since all my flowers around the house smell wonderful right now (even though some make me sneeze! LOL).

I love the SU! set Secret Garden. Well, that isn't so shocking since I love Nature themed stamps :)

I hope you can join us with your CAS creation this week!
