Ruby's Rainbow Challenge #124 - Celebrate Women's Day

 
The Ruby's Rainbow Challenge #124 is to create a project to celebrate women's day. 
 
For my card, I used the Becoming (that person) stamp from Unity Stamp Co.  I stamped the image onto a panel I cut from a Concord & 9th Happy Hues cardbase, colored the hearts using gel pens and embellished the panel using a MS punched butterfly.  A very easy peasy card with a powerful message!
 
We hope you'll share your "celebrate women's day" projects with us at Ruby's Rainbow Challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.

Altered Eclectics March Challenge

 
For my altered project I recycled packing paper into a scrunched layered blossom.  I had a large paper clip on my craft desk so decided to plop that blossom onto the clip to create a bookmark.
 
Packing paper ... recycled into the layered blossom!
 
To create the blossom I used a scallop punch and punched out several scallops, then layered each scallop (about 10 of them) and pierced a hole in the center of the stack and added a small brad.  The scallops were then scrunched up around the brad and then fluffed out to shape and create the blossom!
 
We hope you'll share your altered items with us this month.  You can find the Altered Eclectics Challenge HERE.

Eclectic Ellapu Pink Team Challenge - Thinking of You

 
For the month of March I get to choose the theme for the Eclectic Ellapu Pink Team Challenge.  I chose Thinking of You as the theme.
 
For my card I used an image and sentiment from the MFP Stamp Shop Roses Stamp set.  I stamped the image twice onto watercolor paper and fussy cut one of the images and layered it on top of the stamped square panel.  The image was colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens.
 
We hope you'll share your thinking of you projects with us at the Eclectic Ellapu Pink Team Challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.
