March Challenges

Hi Everyone!  Thanks to my loyal followers! 

This week I had surgery and am home resting.  I had some time to spend on making a few cards for the different challenges that I try to follow each week.

The first card I made was for The Jitterbuggin' Challenge Rainbows and Butterflies. The theme is rainbows......rainbows themselves.....or rainbow colors. Make any card....any sketch.....use a rainbow or rainbow colors......add a butterfly....and emboss something.

For this challange I made an A2 card in light blue cardstock.  I cut a smaller rectangle in purple and then embossed it with Flowers using my Cuttlebug.  I added yellow plaid ribbon at the bottom.  Using Everday Cards Cricut Cartridge, I cut out an ice cream sundae at 4".  Embossed the yellow soda glass and topped with glitter paper cut out in the shape of dripping ice cream.  I topped it with a cherry and stem.  I stamped for you with a butterfly underneath, added a green gem to the butterflys head and then using my ripple sissors I cut out free hand the small green rectangle cardstock.  I used all the colors of the rainbow on this card!

My 2nd submission this week was to Fantablulous Cricut Challenge #50:  Challenge #50 "Tree Time"
Create a project using any type of tree (i.e. palm, pine tree even a tree branch would do)

I cut out Marina Mist cardstock from Stampin Up to an A2 size card.  I added some sandy looking brown paper to the bottom for my beach effect.  My tree is a palm which I embossed with my Cuttlebug using the Swirls Sheet.  I had some irridescent pink paper left over from another project and cut out my oyster shell adding the pearl to the center.  Sunny Days I cut from Everyday Cards cartridge and embossed it using the Circles sheet.  Sunny Days HAVE to be arriving soon!
