This Stampin' Royalty Challenge Really Flew!

 I had a limited time to create today, but my mojo tapped me on the shoulder on my way home from work and the gym so I had to take advantage of his presence in my life.

I went to some of my favorite challenge sites and found this card came to me immediately when I saw Stampin' Royalty's weekly monochromatic challenge.

I used Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White and a variety of retired purple markers to color in my butterflies from the Kindness Matters set.

I ran out of this cool purple flowered ribbon, so on this second card, I used my last little strip of the ribbon and some purple brads.

Thanks for looking!

A Definition of Challenge

This is the first card I've done in a long, long while.  Lots of reasons why (not to mention I've misplaced my mojo... have your seen it?)  I really wanted to do this week's challenge over on The Friday Mashup to try and get myself back on track a bit.  Here's what I cam up with...

The challenge was to make a graduation card or make a card that used text or definition stamps or paper or mash it up and do both.  I wasn't feeling the graduation theme, so I just make what may end up being my mother's day card.

This is a C.A.S.E of a Sarah Wills card (gotta give credit where credit is due... she's awesome and often inspires me).  But I did change it up a bit and make it my own.  I hope you like it...

Thanks for looking...

So glad to be back...

Hello bloggers and challenges! Oh, how I've missed you!

This is my first card in weeks, maybe even a month! I just spent two weeks in beautiful Italy! The trip of a lifetime, really. Three words... A...MAZ...ING! My conversations will forever be peppered with, "well, when I was in Italy..."

This card is for two challenges! There is a picture challenge over on Stampin' Royalty and half of the Mashup idea over on the Friday Mashup. Check out these stampers... they are amazing.

Colors: Old Olive, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango

Sets: Button Buddies, Thank You Kindly

Other: Ribbon punch, scallop circle punch, bright buttons, white bakers twine

What you can't tell from the picture is that the three flowers in the center are popped up.

Thanks for looking!
