Hello everyone! I hope you have had a wonderful week! Today I wanted to play in a couple of challenges. I made this for
MMSC45 and also for the
Saturday Spotlight, to slick it up!
I am also entering it in:
My card is 5 x 7 so it's a lot bigger than I usually make, and I had to photograph it flat, so I'm sorry about the ugly photo! This week's MMSC fancy option intrigued me to say the least! I had colored up this image from Serendipity Stamps with Copics, and decided to try it for this sketch, so I cut it all up! I then sponged T Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot around all the edges, and attached them to a black piece of cs. I then embossed the whole thing 3 times with Ranger Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. It really gave a thick glossy shine. I had intended to crackle it at this point, but decided I liked the clean white tile look so left it. I think that qualifies it for the Crazy Challenge, which is simple and elegant. For the butterfly I stamped a second one, embossed it as well, bent the wings when it was still hot, and then attached it to the card. The corner treatments are Spellbinders. It's actually a simple card, and different for me, but I have someone in mind who I think will love it.
If you hopped along with us on any part of our Our Daily Bread designs Anniversary celebration, please check out the

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed weekend!!!
By far, no doubt, this is the most beautiful card I've seen made following that sketch. Thank you joining us at "Crazy Challenge" this week. Is real pleasure for us!
