Good Saturday morning, everyone!! I have a couple of challenge cards to show you today.....I made this one yesterday for the Free 4 All challenge on Splitcoast to make something warm and fuzzy. I used the soft kraft and brown tones for the warm and the Flower Soft on the K&Co. diecut butterfly wings as the fuzzy. The PTI Turning a New Leaf leaves in the background were stamped with Sage Shadow and the sentiment is from Crafty Secrets Couple of Cuties set. The lace and silk ribbon finish it off.Recipe:
Stamps: Papertrey Ink's Turning a New Leaf, sentiment from Crafty Secrets Couple of Cuties
Paper: Kraft
Ink: Sage Shadow, Memento Rich Cocoa

I made this card Monday for Holly's Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast...we were to make a card using faux tiles that used Crystal Effects. UTEE, Glossy Glaze, or even Embossing. Holly linked us up to a great tutorial showing the technique...check it out here.
After ruining my first tiles with Crystal Effects, I decided to emboss the second set. The Magnolia image from Rubbernecker was colored with copics, cut, and embossed. Next time I think I'll emboss the picture first before I cut it up....I kept loosing the little tiles...LOL!!!

Thanks for visiting this morning...now I have to get ready for a funeral. One of my church friends passed away Thursday. Joanne was a wonderful Christian lady who will be missed by her family and many friends.

Hi Joan, beautiful cards! Came across your blog whilst blog hopping and will certainly back to visit again. Lots of lovely creations. Trish x
Well, I really cannot make up my mind which I prefer as they are equally fabulous today - the elegant butterfly card with that gorgeous lace and ribbon, or the fantastic and creative tile card. I saw a tile card on your blog before, Joan, and wanted to try it out then but never got round to it.
Sorry for the loss of your friend, hope the funeral went well. coB
