Two Butterfly Cards for Jackie Rockwell's Challenges

Jackie Rockwell from Rockwell Designs is having a really fun color challenge -or 10 color challenges actually! Jackie has posted 3 of them so far and I believe she will post a new challenge every week from now on. All the challenges run until 22nd of September. Click here for all the challenge rules and details and learn more about the prize -it's a free blog header! I would soooo want to win that so fingers crossed! :) I'll try to make a card to all of the challenges and here are my two first cards.

The card above is for the Nectarine Challenge. I stamped the image (Stamp it Australia) directly on design paper and used kraft card base and some black gems. I'm quite pleased with how pretty this looks and with so little effort! I'd like to enter this card also to:

The card below is for Jackie's Tender Shoots Challenge. My card base is again kraft, I used grey as my accent color (neutrals are allowed) and a die-cut butterfly as my focal point. The sentiment is from a Penny Black set. This was another super easy card but I used more time figuring out my layout. I'd like to enter this card also to:

Color Inspiration at Addicted To Stamps And More!

Hi guys!
Here's my DT card for the new challenge at Addicted To Stamps And More! This week we are enjoying of this beautiful color combination you see above -you don't have to use these exact Stamping Up colors, something similar will do!

I inked up a Stamp It Australia-stamp I once won in a challenge -I've not used it before and I'm glad I remembered it now -it's beautiful! I stamped the image with DI Walnut Stain and embossed with the corresponding DI embossing powder. I went through my stash for good papers for the color scheme and voila -this card came together really easily! :)

I can't wait to see what you create so please join us! There's plenty of more DT inspiration in the challenge blog and from there you'll also find all the challenge details. We are proud to have Melonheadz as our July sponsor. Thanks for popping by and happy crafting!
