Butterfly Challenge #195

This was my last Butterfly Challenge entry and I was delighted to find that it was a winner! Thank you Mrs A!

The theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge #195 is E for Easy Edge to Edge Shaker Card.

She shows the technique HERE

The wheel in the Butterfly Challenge is as follows with the colour scheme below

I chose to use Elegant Rose and Eucalyptus. 

I followed the instructions from Mrs A until I started embellishing. 

I used a  piece of card for the back of the shaker that was the backing from some freebies in a magazine! I embossed this with a script embossing folder.

You might be able to see a butterfly at the bottom through the window.

To embellish I added the windowframe from LeighSBDesigns cut with my Cricut in the Elegant Rose.

I added some penwork.

I then added some diecut butterflies also with penwork.

This is aimed at the 2nd prize Challenge.

I was delighted that Mrs A picked it in her Top 3.

And also Leigh's Challenge

I just discovered I was a prizewinner on Leigh's blog with this card so thank you Leigh!

Color Dare Challenge #596

 

This picture shows my make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge - 

The background is from my Gelli plate using yellow. I trimmed this and added it to a mat of black on a white card blank.

I then added flowers using a Art by Marlene stamp set stamped in black archival on a Gelli pull in browns. I cut these out and added the heads on dimensionals.

Finally I added the sentiment (a print from Michelle Grant Designs).

Hope you will join the Color Dare Challenge...
