                  This was something I've had forever and never used - two fold.  One is the cartridge and Two is this embossing powder.
The cut is completely from the cartridge 'holiday cards'  The embossing powder I stumbled on this morning from my stash where I thought it was white snow ... but turned out to be iridescent  - which must have been in there so long I had no idea I had it and was shocked to see the beautiful butterfly I embossed this morning on black card stock (where I thought it was going to be white).
So I cut this on green card stock and decided that it needed a bit more to it and added the iridescent to it.  I punched a small clover and topped that with glossy accents.
Who'd a thunk??





I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may ......

Bitten By the Bug 2 = Lucky
Creative Knockout = Lots of Green
Through The Purple Haze = ATG

        This card is for a great sketch on Try Stamping (or Not) on Tuesday with an optional theme of 'ANGLES'.  I have to admit, the black paper with the diagonal lines was driving me loopy.  The paper is from American Craft Paper.
         The center of the diagonal is a stamped image from a bargain box mounted find that I stamped randomly on white cs with Black StazOn.  I colored the flower petals with white crayon and then sponged Fired Brick ink over the piece where there is a color resist.  One of my favorite -- yet simple -- techniques.
      The black and white strip paper is from a holiday Valentine pad from American Craft that I had in my stuffs from a few years back.
         The sentiment was stamped with Fired Brick on white CS and clear embossing powder and then mounted with two metal daisy brads - that I absolutely forgot that I had a whole bunch of.
        All of this on a red card stock side fold base.

This is the sketch for this week

I hope you have fun playing along with this challenge.

Celebrating pastels ......

          This card is using the sketch from SugarPea Design Challenge for the month of March
     Going with the purple once again .. this is a top fold card base.
        Starting with lavender cs, I put that through my cuttlebug with a small dotted folder from Cuttlebug.
        With a lighter shade of lavender, I also ran that through with a new 'celebration' folder Darice. It's a little bit longer than my card size and I had to cut it down.
       I found a small piece of printed paper with lots of flowers (I honestly can't remember the vendor, it's been in my scrap box forever) that I cut with a nested circle die and put that on top of the same lavender as the 'celebrate'.
       From a small piece of magenta cs I stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder using a stamp set from Tim Holtz.

      Here is a sketch challenge by Fusion.  I started with grey cs and ran that through my Cuttlebug with a folder by Cuttlebug with random alphas on it.  I found a printed grey and blue paint paper in my stash which is from Recollections.  The stamp is from Inkadinkadoo and I used black StazOn with clear embossing powder to give it some shine.  I cut that down and arranged it all to go with the sketch then added two paper flowers.

Greenish ........

        This is for a sketch for Watercooler Wednesday,  Starting with white cs, I ran it through my cuttlebug with a Darice folder of random blocks.   I then blended crushed olive, mowed lawn, peeled paint and forest moss onto the emboss.  I cut it down to match the sketch.  I stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder and a stamp from Inkadinkadoo and ran some stripes of washi tape across the bottom.  The flourish is cut with my cricut and the accent essentials cartridge and I dotted my gold gel pen through it.

Lavender monotone ......

        So I must have been in a very purple mood this weekend ... seems to be my color of choice.  This card is for both a monotone and sketch challenge.  Grabbing three different shades of violet/purple card stock.  I ran one shade through my cuttlebug with a cuttlebug folder of various shapes/cogs.  I then cut the top shapes with my cricut using Accent Essentials cartridge.  From a lighter shade I cut the strips to work the sketch and ran some faux stitiching along the edge with my gold gel.   The sentiment was stamped with Wilted Violet and a Hampton Arts stamp.
